Pope Francis' Death: A shock for the Mörsdorf region!

In 2024 a remarkable visit took place in Rome: Monsignor Rudolf Michael Schmitz, the Vicar General of the Faith Community, was welcomed by Pope Francis. This visit was part of a delegation from the CHRIST CHRIST KING and High Priests, who were invited to the audience in the summer. The death of Pope Francis has since moved many people in the region, especially those who are connected to Monsignor Schmitz. The Vicar General, based in Mörsdorf, brings the message of his faith to people in personal encounters.

The importance of family was recently the focus of a sermon by Monsignor Schmitz, which was held on January 8, 2024. In this sermon, he emphasized the central role that the family plays in the life of everyone. It is described as a gift of God, which is crucial for the development, security and upbringing of every individual. The family offers emotional support, especially in difficult phases of life, and enables people to support each other.

The role of the family in today's society

The assumptions about the future of the family are increased by social developments. Modern society has become more diverse and offers various partnership and family models. It is all the more important, it is determined that the church -favored model of marriage remains relevant. The need for pastoral support for couples who strive for a sacramental marriage is unchanged. Challenges such as an increased average marriage age that lies for men and women over 30 years can be observed. This late marriage also has an impact on the planning of young family.

The current generation, often referred to as "Generation Maybe", is characterized by a certain indecisiveness in questions of long -term ties. The latest surveys show that despite these tendencies, 70 percent of young people have a desire to have children, which underlines the relevance of marriage and family. Statistical data also show that two thirds of the marriages exist and about 70 percent of minors grow up in stable marriages. These numbers illustrate the importance of the family as the most stable unit in human interaction.

The challenges of the family

The challenges within the families were also addressed in the sermon, such as tensions and conflicts. Monsignor Schmitz emphasized that the family is a place of mutual help and that those involved have to learn to develop humility and self -confidence in order to keep the community strong. The common prayer is essential for the strengthening of the family cohesion, which makes the family not only a social unit, but also a spiritual image of the divine community.

The church has the task of creating favorable framework conditions for long -term couple bonds and clarifying more about the importance of marriage. In particular, the family commission of the German Bishops' Conference has developed standards for preparation for marriage to support couples in their common path.

In summary, it can be said that the role of the family is of great importance not only at an individual level, but also socially. Where the focus is on faith, the families experience a strengthening and consolidation of their ties. The death of Pope Francis and Monsignor Schmitz's message could serve as a guide in these uncertain times. At the interface of faith and family, the call to belong together and to promote stable family structures in today's plural society remains important.
