Twenty years after the Encyclical Letter Evangelium Vitae, a day of study was organized by the Pontifical Council for Health Pastoral Care. Msgr. Carlos Simon Vasquez, Undersecretary of the Council for the Family, participated in the work with a lecture on "The Challenge of Life and the Role of the Family." Life is the family‘s "business," first of all because that is where we are born, grow up and become adults. Today, however, life is threatened on several fronts; it is necessary to respond to these challenges first of all by giving back to the family the role that rightfully belongs to it in the construction of a culture of life.
