Life is not made in a laboratory, it is made in reality .” Good family education is the backbone of humanism. Its influence is the social resource that allows you to make up for the drawbacks, the wounds, the gaps of parenthood that affect less fortunate children. This influence can do real miracles. And in the Church these miracles happen every day.” Concluding his address, Pope Francis expressed his hope that the Lord will grant families the faith, freedom and courage that is necessary to their mission. “ It is time for fathers and mothers to return from their exile, because they have self- exiled themselves from the education of their children, and to fully reassume their educational role ,” he said.
