POPE TELLS PARENTS THAT CHILDREN MUST SEE THE FAITH LIVED AT HOME

At Mass at the Sistine Chapel, on January 13th, Pope Francis baptized 27 babies, reminding their parents that the first space in which children learn and witness the faith is at home. “Yes, when they go to catechism class, they will study the faith well, they will learn catechesis,” he said. “But before being studied, faith must be transmitted, and this is the job that is up to you.” “The important thing is to transmit the faith with your life of faith: that they see the love of the spouses, that they see the peace of the house,” he said.
