The family in the age of pandemics – topicality of the message of the exhortation Amoris Laetitia

Summary/Abstract: The time of the pandemic is a hard test for the family ties. In the face of the difficulties and threats experienced by the families today, the Church reminds spouses about the value of a marriage, which is God’s intention, the fruit of grace and a vocation that must be fully experienced, with fidelity and selflessness. The aim of the research was to present the topicality of the message of the exhortation Amoris laetitia in the context of contemporary events caused by the SARS-Cov-2 virus and underlining the importance of the Church’s tenderness in accompaniment, discreet and full of love, for today’s families. The analytical-synthetic method was used in the work on the text. As a result of the analysis of the content of the exhortation, not so much its topicality was emphasized, but rather the meticulous care for family life in many aspects. Pope Francis, giving specific examples, talks about the topicality of the vocation of the Christian family and the challenges that families had to face during the pandemic. The following conclusion can be drawn from these considerations: each family member, regardless of age or sex, plays an important role in social relations, and in the prose of life, the azimuth of actions should be marked by the ‘Hymn oft love’ by St. Paul.
