Pastoral Care of Families as a Support of Parents in the Upbringing

Summary/Abstract: The upbringing of a person and the pastoral care of families have a common root in God’s pedagogy of love. Together, they help a person to enter onto the path of goodness inscribed into his or her heart by the Creator. Child-raising in the family is a privileged place for the realization of God’s plan of love – proclaiming the gospel of life and love. In this work, Christian spouses act on the basis of the Church’s mandate, but they also need ecclesial support throughout the process and in the various dimensions of child-raising. Particular areas in which parents need support through the pastoral care of the Church include help in sexual, religious and moral education as well as in raising children for love, marriage and family life. The pastoral care of families also helps adolescents and young adults in self-education and formation to supplement and correct the influence of the family of origin and contemporary cultural influences.
