Paragraph 1658. We must also remember the great number of single persons who, because of the particular circumstances in which they have to live-often not of their choosing-are especially close to Jesus' heart and therefore deserve the special affection and active solicitude of the Church, especially of pastors. Many remain without a human family, often due to conditions of poverty. Some live their situation in the spirit of the Beatitudes, serving God and neighbor in exemplary fashion. The doors of homes, the "domestic churches," and of the great family which is the Church must be open to all of them. "No one is without a family in this world: the Church is a home and family for everyone, especially those who labor and are heavy laden.'" (2231, 2233)
