dc.description.abstractFamily, built on the foundation of monogamous marriage between a man and a woman, is a natural institution. It is present in even the oldest communities and cultures. However, the contemporary family, which is going through a deep crisis, is the subject of questions and controversies. Opinions that it is an outdated institution and should be replaced by other “modern” forms of cohabitation are expressed more frequently. Hence, the family needs specific actions and forms of assistance that will help it overcome growing problems and interpret its identity anew. The Church, aware that marriage and family are one of the greatest gifts in the world, constantly undertakes such actions and carries her mission in favor of them on various levels. The article discusses the main ones, which include the need to preach the good news about marriage and family and defend these institutions, undertake specific pastoral actions, and help marriage and family in interpreting their identity. All these activities require profound discernment on the part of the Church of the current situation of contemporary marriages and families, so that she may be able to fruitfully accompany them in the realization of her vocation.en
