"Let us ask Mary, venerated in so many shrines in this land, to take us by the hand and to teach us that it is precisely the courage to ask for and to offer forgiveness which is the beginning of the way toward true peace. Let us entrust to her the difficult but necessary resolve to persevere in building the 'civilization of love.' Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us."- Pope John Paul II The crowning theme in the Letter to Families is John Paul's discussion of the family's role in building "the civilization of love." The Pope considers the building of the civilization of love to be essential to the Church today. In fact, "it is difficult to imagine a statement by the Church, or about the Church, that does not mention [it]" (§13). "Civilization of love" refers to a culture that has as its basis "a correct scale of values: the primacy of being over having, of the person over things" (Evangelium Vitae 98). Such a civilization answers the spiritual and moral needs of the human person and promotes his fulfillment. It represents the goal of the Church's social teaching, the task "given to mankind . .-to be carried out with the help of divine grace" (§15). -The Role Of The Family In John Paul II's Program For Building The Civilization Of Love By Paul Scalia
