ICCFM TENTH WORLD ASSEMBLY RESOLUTIONS
July 2007
(in summary form)

Living in a challenging society, in which the cultural, economic and social changes of our times do not always present the family in a positive way, we, Christian married couples, believe that “The Legacy of our Lady of Fatima”, Queen of the Family, to the family today is:

  1. To understand that we are a gift to each other and to our family, particularly through the daily sacrifice of ourselves;
  2. To live our daily spiritual life as a couple in a profound and coherent way, in union with the ministers of the Church, through the participation in the Sacraments, the listening to and the contemplation of the Word of God and the practice of the Rosary;
  3. To transmit, as missionaries, in an interactive way, to our children, young people, other married couples, single mothers and fathers, widows and widowers, the richness and the beauty of conjugal love, and to accompany young couples in their marriage journey with an open mind of inter-religious dialogue;
  4. To support and heal in a curative and restorative way, with the light of Christ and the help of our Lady, our Mother, the wounds and sufferings which many families, including the migrants, are enduring.

In conclusion, we hope that opinion, economic, religious and political leaders of the entire world take practical actions in favour of the dignity of life, the family and the fundamental human rights.
