God’s dream for us is this: to unite us in His love, in His communion, so we can discover the beauty of being God’s children, and brothers and sisters among ourselves. Faith is primarily an experience of relationships and encounters, underscoring the importance of experiencing God’s love in our own relationships with one another. Such relationships serve as a powerful means of proclaiming the richness of the Gospel and God’s boundless love for all of creation. Pope Francis, to the Association for the Promotion of the Family, September 9, 2023
