With all people of good will, we join in the observance of May as
National Foster Care Month. Each year, nearly a half million children in need
of a home are embraced by foster care families. The provision of foster care is
just one example of the generosity, compassion and loving spirit that are part
of the Church’s vision of family life. This month, we pray that God will bless
abundantly all foster care parents, and that those entrusted to their care may
continue to grow in wisdom, age and grace.
