POPE: DON'T IGNORE FAMILIES IN DIFFICULTY OR IRREGULARITY

The Pope said that parishes must pay"particular care and attention to families in difficulty orirregularity." 

In his homily delivered Sunday during hispastoral visit to the new parish in the Infernetto district, onthe southern outskirts of Rome, Benedict XVI exhorted: "Do notleave them alone, but be close to them with love, helping themto understand God's true plan for marriage and the family." 

Hesaid that in a place such as Infernetto, with so many youngcouples what is needed is, "a pastoral family that is open andfriendly to new families, so that the parish is increasingly a'family of families', sharing with them the joys and theinevitable early difficulties." . .
