‘Care for and defend the family,’the message of father Piechestein for 2016
Father Cesar Piechestein, spokesman of the Diocese of Guayaquil, recalled that during the visit of Pope Francisco to Ecuador he talked about the joy of the gospel, and that’s what he left us with his presence in the country: a great joy, a renewed faith, an even greater joy for following Christ, and to realize the purpose of the Holy Father, of living a ‘Year of Mercy,’ which is ongoing, and we are willing to live intensely.
Piechestein made a call to defend family values, something the Holy Father did when he was in Quito and Guayaquil, he also stressed: “To take care of the family, to protect it, hopefully in 2016, this that has been neglected, that actually has often been attacked, be rather protected, because the future of our country depends on this.”
