On 14 February 2014, on the occasion of the Feast of Valentine’s Day, protector of lovers, Pope Francis had the opportunity to meet in the Vatican a large group of engaged couples to whom he gave his three words: please, thank you, sorry. And in number 133 of Amoris laetitia he repeated them and handed them over to all the spouses: «In our families when we are not overbearing and ask: “May I?”; in our families when we are not selfish and can say: “Thank you!”; and in our families when someone realizes that he or she did something wrong and is able to say “Sorry!”, our family experiences peace and joy».
