shown between parents and children and between husbands and wives is what is
needed,’ said Cardinal Berhaneyesus in his homily during the thanksgiving Mass
for the for 32nd graduation ceremony at the Catholic University of

“When
fathers are simple and humble, they are able to bring the family together and
keep it united. Likewise when mothers are simple and humble, they become a
great example to their children and the entire family,” he said adding that the
family is threatened by so many challenges in the world today and therefore it
is a great blessing that the Holy Father Pope Francis has dedicated the coming
synod to deliberate on the vocation and mission of the family in the Church and
in the contemporary world.
