The Evangelizing Mission of the Christian Family in the Light of Amoris Laetitia

The Christian family is a fundamental institution that contributes to the development of societies by transmitting both human life and cultural heritage. However, it faces various internal and external challenges that hinder its role and well-being in society and the Church. It is within this context that this study is conducted. It is a qualitative, theological type of research that analyzes the Church document Amoris Laetitia and elaborates on the Christian family’s mission in the Church’s life. The study emphasized that this mission is significant so that the family can address the challenges they face in the present time. This mission is to be: (1) A community of love where spouses are called to live their marital love in lifetime fidelity and extend to their children. (2) A community of life where spousal love finds its fullness in transmitting life not only to their children but the sharing of life with the wider community of the Church (3) A community of faith where they are able to carry their evangelizing mission of educating their children in the faith, forming them according to virtues, and educating them to be responsible in the exercise of sexuality. By embracing this mission, the Christian family not only fulfills its role in the Church but also becomes a vital force in the renewal of society.
