“In a world like this, media can help us to feel closer to one another…The internet, in particular, offers immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. This is something truly good, a gift from God...

The revolution taking place in communications media and in information technologies represents a great and thrilling challenge; may we respond to that challenge with fresh energy and imagination as we seek to share with others the beauty of God.”

Pope Francis, Message for World Communications Day, 24 January 2014, The Holy See www.w2.vatican.va/content/vatican/en For more from Pope Francis go to the Vatican YouTube channel www.youtube.com/user/vatican and Twitter @Pontifex.

Dear Parents, Grandparents, Godparents, Family Friends, Young Adults, Families,

Everyone’s ‘walk with God’ is different and family life is very busy. Pope Francis encourages us to explore possibilities such as those offered by the internet, tablets and smartphones. With this in mind, you are invited to browse through this booklet to select a few items that may support you and your family members in your ‘closer walk with God’.

May God bless you and your family every day,
