The “Humanum” Videos: Extraordinary Short Films on Marriage and the Family

Humanum

The Vatican is currently wrapping up an international and interreligious colloquium on men, women, and marriage called “Humanum”. Over 350 participants, including representatives from 14 religious traditions and 23 countries, have united to uphold the beauty and wisdom of marriage. (I recently interviewed Dr. Helen Alvaré about the gathering.)

As part of the conference, organizers have released six extraordinary videos on marriage. Filmed around the world and containing interviews with people like Fr. Robert Barron, Dr. Peter Kreeft, and N.T. Wright, the short films evocatively display timeless truths about men, women, and the family’s role in humanity. What Fr. Barron’s CATHOLICISM series did for the Church’s beauty and truth, this series does for marriage and the family.

These videos, freely available on YouTube, are tremendous resources. If you serve in marriage preparation ministry, youth and young adult ministries, or any ministry focused on the family, relationships, or parenting, you should definitely consider incorporating them into your work.
