Amoris Laetitia was marked on its 10th anniversary on March 19 with a message from Pope Leo XIV reflecting on the document’s place in the life of the Church.
Writing on the Solemnity of St Joseph, the Pope described the exhortation, first issued in 2016 by Pope Francis, as “a luminous message of hope regarding conjugal love and family life” and gave thanks for what he called the “stimulus” it has provided for reflection and pastoral renewal over the past decade. He said the Church must continue to “persevere on this path”, presenting the Gospel to families in a spirit of joy.
