    Family

    Topic 13
    General Understanding
    Family: as the vital/basic unit of human society.
    -a stable state depends on how strong the
    smallest unit within it,
    - state should protect its families because its
    future depends on how families are developed
    hence:
    ● No state has the right to intrude on the basic cell of society, the family, by its
    regulations or to question its right to exist.
    ● No state has the right to deprive the family of its fundamental functions,
    especially in the area of EDUCATION. On the Contrary, every STATE has the
    duty to support families with its assistance & to ensure that its material needs are
    met.
    Primary Family
    Single-Parent Family
    Extended Family
    Blended Family
    FAMILY in GOD’s PLAN
    What place is the Family in God’s plan of creation?

    ● A MAN and a WOMAN are MARRIED to each other,


    together with their CHILDREN, form a FAMILY. (CCC
    2202)

    ● God wills that the love of the spouses, if possible,


    should produce children. These Children, who are
    entrusted to the protection & care of their parents,
    have the same dignity as their parents. (CCC 2203)
    Nature of Family
    a. Family as a Covenant Relationship (CCC1660)
    - this understanding recalls God who created ADAM & EVE out of His

    LOVE and thereby calling them to mutual love (Gen 2:21-24).

    ●It emphasizes that man and woman are created for one another, to
    unite & become one flesh in COMMUNION OF LOVE that grounds
    their marriage and family.
    ● Our family is the “COVENANT” where we truly belong and find
    our “HOME”.
    LOVE + FAMILY = HOME
    Gen. 2: 21-24)

    “So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall


    upon the man, and he slept; then he took one of
    his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the
    rib that the Lord God ha taken from the man He
    made into a woman… therefore a man leaves his
    father and his mother and cling to his wife, and
    they become one flesh…”
    Nature of Family
    b. Family as a First and Vital Cell of Society

    - This understanding emphasizes that the family grounds and


    continually nourishes the existence and development of society
    itself through its SERVICE TO LIFE by BIRTH and the
    EDUCATION of its YOUTH in SOCIAL VIRTUES.

    ● Christian understanding of Family

    Nature of Family
    c. Family as a Domestic Church (CCC 1656)

    -it is the church in the home


    -it is the first school of discipleship

    •As a Christian Family, all families are invited to:


    1.Strengthen one another in faith
    2.Outdo one another with their zeal for God
    3.Develop the spirit of charity through loving service.
    Duties of Family Members
    ● The IV Commandment: HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.
    It demands Filial respect to our parents by showing our love and
    gratitude.
    ● Children are gifts from God and not a property of parents

    This emphasize on the duties of parents to:


    ● provide for their children needs
    ● guide them in faith and morals
    ● create for them an atmosphere of personal growth (Col.
    3:21 / Eph 6:4)
    The Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
    ● Holy Family - model of Christian families.

    ● The Holy Family began their life believing that God


    was truly present with them. Even if they
    experienced hardship, the Holy Family stays together
    united.
    ● When Jesus started his ministry, his Mother Mary
    must have understood that her son must leave her
    to follow the will of his Father. Despite all of these
    challenges, the love they have for each other was
    the source of their strength.
    ● A Healthy family is one that deals
    satisfactorily with brokenness and
    conflict.
    ● Make Christ as the center of your
    relationship in the family.
