Family, Become What You Are

The family finds in the plan of God the Creator and Redeemer not only its identity, what it is, but also its mission, what it can and should do. The role that God calls the family to perform in history derives from what the family is; its role represents the dynamic and existential development of what it is. Each family finds within itself a summons that cannot be ignored, and that specifies both its dignity and its responsibility: family, become what you are.

-Saint John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio

In preparation for the 8^th World Meeting of Families, to be held in Philadelphia in September of 2015, the Knights of Columbus is asking that we seek the intercession of St. John Paul II, praying that "every family may generously make its own contribution to the coming of his kingdom in the world."
