In this series of modules, it is emphasized that the Christian family is an example of
the communion that exists among the three divine persons: Father, Son, and Spirit. From
this communion flows love and out of love comes God’s wonderful creation of the universe
and everything in it, including human being. The family shares this distinct characteristics
of the Trinity. With love as the foundation of the family, they continue the work of creation
by being co – creators in this world.

At the end of these modules, you are expected to demonstrate understanding of

what family is, its responsibility in relation to the society and the Church, and the value of
prayer to remain as one. Furthermore, you should be able to contribute as member of the
family to the society and the Church finding inspiration and strength in prayer.

OVERVIEW:

 Love is the reason two people decide to form a family. Christ’s love for His Church is
the perfect model of family love.
 Jesus gave a very strong message to the Pharisees when He quoted the Old
Testament that God originally created man and woman for one another and that He did
not want them to be separated but to be one. Their unity shall only be separated by
death. This is also why their commitment does not only become good when they like
the situation, but they promise to take care of each other in the worst situation. “…for
poorer or richer, in sickness and in health, till death do they part.”
 Concern is an attitude, an act of being sensitive to the need of others. And such
concern should be cultivated in the family.
 God calling Abraham and giving him blessings is symbolic of what God desires. He
wanted to gather His people and let them commune to one another. He gave them
blessings so that they might remain one.
 It is God’s desire that people live as a family. He blesses them and gives them all the
graces they need to face the odds of life. He knows and wants them to realize how
each life indeed begins and grows in the family that it must be protected and kept
according to His plan.
