On @PerMariam for the month of the Holy Family, find some of Pope Leo XIII's writing on the Holy Family: When Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are invoked in the home, charity is likely to be maintained in the family through their example and heavenly entreaty; a good influence is thus exerted over conduct; the practice of virtue is thus incited; and thus the hardships which are everywhere wont to harass mankind, are both mitigated and made easier to bear.
With February dedicated to the Holy Family, Pope Leo XIII's writings on the theme show how the Holy Family is truly the model for every Christian family. Extracts from his Apostolic Letter on on the Holy Family found @PerMariam

NEW: Pope Francis announces he will write an apostolic exhortation on the subject of children, as he closes the Vatican conference. Given his record on handling abuse cases, such as Rupnik, any such document will likely be heavily scrutinized.
Al Gore is now urging members of the Vatican conference to take action to tackle the “climate crisis.” “The threat of ecological devastation – which encompasses the twin climate & biodiversity crises – is a burden we have placed upon the children of our planet”
