International Day of Families

“What kind of world do we want to leave to those who come after us, to children who are now growing up?” (Laudato Si’, 160)

Today is the annual UN observance of the International Day of Families under the theme “Families and Climate Action.” On this day we would like to highlight and celebrate the important role that family life plays in safeguarding the earth, our common home. “In the family too, we can rethink our habits of consumption and join in caring for the environment as our common home.” (Amoris Latetitia, 277)
