God had chosen to reveal himself by being born into a human family and the human family thus became an icon of God! God is the Trinity, he is a communion of love; so is the family despite all the differences that exist between the Mystery of God and his human creature, an expression that reflects the unfathomable Mystery of God as Love.… The human family, in a certain sense, is an icon of the Trinity because of its interpersonal love and the fruitfulness of this love.10
