On Facebook Father James Martin SJ has a good video on the major points
that the Holy Father brings out in this Document. Go to Florence Jane Vales for

Excerpts from Gaudete et Exsultate.
The Pope says
" My modest goal is to repropose the call to holiness in a practical way for our time, with all its risks challenges and opportunities. For the lord has chosen each one of us "to be holy and blameless before him in love"(Eph 1:1
It invites us to realize that "a great cloud of witnesses"(the saints)include our own mothers, grandmothers or other loved ones. their lives may not always have been perfect, yet even amid their faults and failings they kept moving forward and proved pleasing to the Lord.
