The primordial model of the family is to be sought in God himself, in the Trinitarian mystery of his life. The divine "We" is the eternal pattern of the human "we", especially of that "we" formed by the man and the woman created in the divine image and likeness...

There is no need to be dismayed if love sometimes follows torturous ways. Grace has the power to make straight the paths of human love.
