A Catechetical and Educational Aid on the Gift of Children and the Indispensable Place of Fathers and Mothers in Marriage and Society
“The couple, while giving themselves to one another, give not just themselves but also the reality of children, who are a living reflection of their love, a permanent sign of conjugal unity and a living and inseparable synthesis of their being a father and a mother.”
Blessed Pope John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio, no. 14

See News Release: Bishops’ Committee Releases Second Video in Defense of Marriage Initiative
"Made for Life" is the second video of the Marriage: Unique for a Reason series will be officially released and available for order. Building on the anthropological foundation established in the first video, “Made for Each Other,” “Made for Life” considers the Church’s beautiful teaching about the “supreme gift” of marriage, children, and the importance of fathers and mothers.
In “Made for Life,” real married couples talk about what it means to be open to life; why children are a gift; the heroic examples of adoptive parents and single parents; the importance of fathers and mothers; why sexual difference “doesn’t end at conception”; and much more.
The “Made for Life” video is accompanied by a Viewer’s Guide with further reflections and questions for discussion, and a Resource Booklet for Priests, Deacons, Catechists and Teachers.
To order Made for Life package (DVD, Viewer’s Guide, and Resource Booklet)—available June 15, 2011—go to www.usccbpublishing.org.
