“The family ... is the place where one learns to love; it is the natural centre of human life. It is made up of faces, of people who love dialogue, who make self-sacrifices for one another and defend life, especially of the most vulnerable and the weakest. One could say, without exaggeration, that the family is the driving force of the world and of history.” – Pope Francis
