“What’s the force that holds the family together? It’s love, and the one who sows love in our hearts is God…it is that love of God which gives meaning to the little daily tasks and also helps us to face great trials. That is man’s true treasure…But what is the love of God? It is not something vague, a generic sentiment. The love of God has a name and a face: Jesus Christ…Because we cannot love the air…No, it cannot be done; we love people, and the person that we love is Jesus, the gift of the Father among us. It is a love that gives value and beauty to everything else; a love that gives strength to the family, to work, to study, to friendship, to art, to every human activity.” – Pope Francis, Vatican City, 11 August 2013
