God, as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is like a family. The human
person, created in the divine image and likeness, reflects the
Trinity, most especially in the vocation of self-giving love. Sacred
Scripture shows how darkness entered the world through
original sin, damaging this vocation and rupturing humanity’s
relationship to God and neighbor. The consequences are all too
evident in a world enveloped by darkness. The Church proclaims
Jesus Christ as the light that shines in the darkness. By receiving
the gift of charity through the Holy Spirit, the human person can
love as Jesus did and remain in communion with God and others.
The Christian family becomes the prime witness of this love and
unity - a wellspring of faith, hope and love in today’s world.
