Amoris Laetitia, on love in the family continued 11. The couple that loves and begets life is a true, living icon not an idol like those of stone or gold prohibited by the Decalogue capable of revealing God the Creator and Saviour. For this reason, fruitful love becomes a symbol of God s inner life (cf. Gen 1:28; 9:7; 17:2-5, 16; 28:3; 35:11; 48:3-4). This is why the Genesis account, following the priestly tradition, is interwoven with various genealogical accounts (cf. 4:17-22, 25-26; 5; 10; 11:10-32; 25:1-4, 12-17, 19-26; 36). The ability of human couples to beget life is the path along which the history of salvation progresses. Seen this way, the couple s fruitful relationship becomes an image for understanding and describing the mystery of God himself, for in the Christian vision of the Trinity, God is contemplated as Father, Son and Spirit of love. The triune God is a communion of love, and the family is its living reflection. Saint John Paul II shed light on this when he said, Our God in his deepest mystery is not solitude, but a family, for he has within himself fatherhood, sonship and the essence of the family, which is love. That love, in the divine family, is the Holy Spirit.6 The family is thus not unrelated to God s very being.7 This Trinitarian dimension finds expression in the theology of Saint Paul, who relates the couple to the mystery of the union of Christ and the Church (cf. Eph 5:21-33). 12. In speaking of marriage, Jesus refers us to yet another page of Genesis, which, in its second chapter, paints a splendid and detailed portrait of the couple. First, we see the man, who anxiously seeks a helper fit for him (vv. 18, 20), capable of alleviating the solitude which he feels amid the animals and the world around him. The original Hebrew suggests a direct encounter, face to face, eye to eye, in a kind of silent dialogue, for where love is concerned, silence is always more eloquent than words. It is an encounter with a face, a thou, who reflects God s own love and is man s best possession, a helper fit for him and a pillar of support, in the words of the biblical sage (Sir 36:24). Or again, as the woman of the Song of Solomon will sing in a magnificent profession of love and mutual self-bestowal: My beloved is mine and I am his I am my beloved s and my beloved is mine (2:16; 6:3).
