Sr. Margaret Fagbamigbe, SSMA
Abstract

This piece of work takes the path of orthopraxy, analyzing theologically from the anthropological starting point of view; en route sequential thinking. The paper highlights the nine chapters of Amoris Laetitia wherein issues and lessons are drawn; examines chapter five, enquiring the work of the mothers as catechists in fashioning the New Faithful, emphasizing that the new members, either into the institution of societies or the families, must be given adequate orientation and be skilled in the principles of faith. Thereafter, we shall make some recommendations for our contemporary, and draw our conclusion.
