The family has been at the center of several events in recent days. On Sunday, October 18th, the Pope Francis canonized Louis Martin and Zelie Guerin, the parents of St. Therese of Lisieux, and the first spouses who are saints in Church history without being martyrs. Now, while the Synod on the Family is in progress (see below the links to videos of the briefings on October 16th and 19th), on October 17th, the commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Assembly created by Paul VI was celebrated. On this occasion, Pope Francis said that he is convinced that "the path of collegiality is what God expects from the Church of the third millennium."
