Pope Francis Releases Letter to Married Couples; Has Family Empathy during COVID-19 Pandemic

 Pope Francis released a letter to married couples across the globe on December 26 as part of the Amoris Laetitia Family Year in the runup to the World Meeting of Families set for 26 June 2022, the Independent Catholic News website reports today (December 29, 2021).


Pope Francis begins his letter by expressing his desire that families  feel his "affection and closeness at this very special time," which has been marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and recurring lockdowns.


He said in his letter,"Our relationship with God shapes us , accompanies us, and sends us forth as individuals and, ultimately, helps us "set out from our land," albeit in many cases "with a certain trepidation and even fear in the face of the unknown."
