 5th General Audience, October 10, 1979
1. In Gen. 2:18, God says, coming from the Yawhist tradition, the second account of creation, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I want to make him a help similar to himself”. John Paul makes two significant points: 1. the first man adam [person] is created from the dust of the ground and this comes before the creation of woman. Gen. 2:7; and 2.the first man is defined as male ish, only after the creation of woman ishshah Gen. 2:21-22

John Paul begins his audience in reference to the Synod of Bishops which will meet in Rome in the Fall of 1980, with the topic, De muneirbus famliae christianae “The role of the Christian family.” [Delivered as an Apostolic Exhortation on the feast of Christ the King in 1981, Familiaris Consortio.] The family as the community of Christian life that has been fundamental from the beginning. The Lord used the word “beginning” in reference to marriage in the Gospels of St. Matthew and St. Mark. |
