ROCKFORD—If you wonder why Catholics believe certain things about marriage,  the Rockford Diocese Life and Family Evangelization Office has some answers.

Beginning May 1, messages about the Catholic vision for life and love will arrive daily if you sign up for the “Love is Our Mission” program. The email or text messages will continue until Pope Francis arrives in the United States for the World Meeting of Families. Once you sign up, you can choose to receive these short daily reflections either via text message or e-mail.

Sign-up at rockforddiocese.org or by texting LOVE to 84576. There is no charge for the service, but your carrier message and data rates may apply.

For those who prefer books, “Love Is Our Mission: The Family Fully Alive,” published by Our Sunday Visitor is available at osv.com.

You may also check with your local Catholic bookstore to order a copy or look online.
