As pastors, together with our people we make us wonder how well we are encouraging and promoting charity and brotherhood, the desire for good, truth and justice. How do to that corruption does not nestle in our hearts. " SS Francisco

We thank God for the opportunity He has given us by calling us to this minestry that allows us to serve the family and has taken us to meet and know so many married couples and families, who have responded with love to the Lord’s calling. “In union with Jesus, we seek what he seeks and we love what he loves. In the end, what we are seeking is the glory of the Father; we live and act “for the praise of his glorious grace” (Eph 1:6). If we wish to commit ourselves fully and perseveringly, we need to leave behind every other motivation. This is our definitive, deepest and greatest motivation, the ultimate reason and meaning behind all we do: the glory of the Father which Jesus sought at every moment of his life. As the Son, he rejoices eternally to be “close to the Father’s heart” (Jn 1:18). If we are missionaries, it is primarily because Jesus told us that “by this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit” (Jn 15:8). (cfr. EG, 267).In this way this report is the result of true teamwork in response to the call of Our Lord Jesus for the Glory of the Father.
