Reading: Lesson 24 - The Nature of the Child

The Nature of the Child

The fruit of marriage & the conjugal act

Why? “It is an act that is inseparably corporal and spiritual” (Instrution, 11)

New person as the result of a personal act

Freedom of love vs. cost of ART

Unity of marriage: spouses become father and mother only through each other

The story of infertility & the story of Jesus

Patient suffering rather than impatient grasping

The reality of the family of God
