杏MAP导航 writes from the heart
In the letter, the 杏MAP导航 responds 鈥渉appily鈥�, and 鈥渇reely鈥�, writing 鈥渨hat is in my heart鈥� to questions proposed by Mr Walford. He recounts that Amoris Laetitia came after a long synodal process which he calls an 鈥渆cclesial journey鈥� in which every facet of the Church participated, 鈥減rayed, reflected and, with simplicity, offered various contributions鈥�.

杏MAP导航 Francis then discloses that what 鈥渕ost impressed me in this whole process was the desire to seek God鈥檚 will in order to better serve the Church鈥�. He stressed the fact that the Amoris Laetitia needs to be read in its entirety because 鈥渢here is a development both of theological reflection and of the way in which problems are approached鈥�. Otherwise, 鈥渋t will either not be understood, or it will be distorted鈥�, he writes.
鈥淵our book will be helpful鈥�
The 杏MAP导航 concluded his letter saying that Mr Walford鈥檚 book 鈥渨ill be helpful to families鈥� and that he is praying for that. Then he asks Mr Walford to 鈥減ass on my best wishes to your wife and your children鈥�, to 鈥渢hank them for their witness鈥�, and 鈥渄o not forget to pray for me!"
