Amoris Laetitia, on love in the family continued CHAPTER ONE-In The Light Of The Word 8. The Bible is full of families, births, love stories and family crises. This is true from its very first page, with the appearance of Adam and Eve s family with all its burden of violence but also its enduring strength (cf. Gen 4) to its very last page, where we behold the wedding feast of the Bride and the Lamb (Rev 21:2, 9). Jesus description of the two houses, one built on rock and the other on sand (cf. Mt 7:24-27), symbolizes any number of family situations shaped by the exercise of their members freedom, for, as the poet says, every home is a lampstand.5 Let us now enter one of those houses, led by the Psalmist with a song that even today resounds in both Jewish and Christian wedding liturgies: Blessed is every one who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways! You shall eat the fruit of the labour of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots round your table. Thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord. The Lord bless you from Zion! May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life! May you see your children s children! Peace be upon Israel! (Ps 128:1-6). You and your wife 9. Let us cross the threshold of this tranquil home, with its family sitting around the festive table. At the centre we see the father and mother, a couple with their personal story of love. They embody the primordial divine plan clearly spoken of by Christ himself: Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female? (Mt 19:4). We hear an echo of the command found in the Book of Genesis: Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh (Gen 2:24). 10. The majestic early chapters of Genesis present the human couple in its deepest reality. Those first pages of the Bible make a number of very clear statements. The first, which Jesus para-phrases, says that God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them (1:27). It is striking that the image of God here refers to the couple, male and female. Does this mean that sex is a property of God himself, or that God has a divine female companion, as some ancient religions held? Naturally, the answer is no. We know how clearly the Bible rejects as idolatrous such beliefs, found among the Canaanites of the Holy Land. God s transcendence is preserved, yet inasmuch as he is also the Creator, the fruitfulness of the human couple is a living and effective image, a visible sign of his creative act.
