The family is at the centre of Pope Francis' preaching, especially in the period between the two Synods on the family, that of October 2014 and that of October 2015. During this period of time, the pope addressed a series of catechesis to families inspired by the icon of the Family of Nazareth: a true pastoral itinerary through the themes of the affections, the times of life and the rhythms of work and feast, up to the social and ecclesial vocation of spouses. In these pages, Bergoglio also addresses highly topical issues such as divorce and separation, parenthood, and the challenges facing society today. The tone of the speeches is passionate and concrete: Francis speaks to real families, whom he has before his eyes as he addresses them. The reader receives a message of hope and commitment, an 'exciting prospect', as Monsignor Vincenzo Paglia, President of the Pontifical Council for the Family, called it in the preface.
