Catholic Teaching on the Family
There is no greater confirmation of the holiness, goodness, and intent of the human family than when God, who is all perfect, who had no sin, who guided all of creation, chose to enter His creation the same way as all of us. He become a single cell in his mother’s womb, carried through a normal pregnancy, was born to two loving parents, and grew up as a child through normal human adulthood in a family with parents and relatives. He did not come down in a cloud or appear in a flash of power. He instead confirmed the beauty of the entire human life cycle – the work of His own hands – by choosing it above any other way.
If God, who is perfect goodness and love created and then came into the world this way – we should learn a powerful lesson about God’s intent for families and the whole human life cycle.
