(Ephesians 5:8)
Parents, leaders, and educators, we have a mission, a duty to lead children's souls toward the Light which will be their guide and their happiness. In order to illuminate the way that lies before each one of us, once a week we invite you to discover some of the words of certain wisemen and witnesses, measuring their worth by the words of St. Thomas Aquinas: “Do not consider the one who speaks, but whatever good you hear from him, confide it to your memory.” (from The Sixteen Ways to Acquire the Treasure of Knowledge by St. Thomas). Happy reading!
« Every man, every woman carries in himself his child, long before having conceived him. »
Father JEROME (1907-1985)
Trappist monk of the Abbey of Sept-Fons
“The priesthood of your son will be a source of both spiritual and temporal blessings. As well as your other children, and more than them, he will love you. For it is the very love of God that keeps, in the heart of a son, the greatest place for the love of his own kin. And when you will appear before the Sovereign Judge, what a comfort (it will be) to be able to say to Him: ‘Lord, I may have committed many faults, but I have given you one of my sons. Very soon a priest who belongs to you, but who also belongs to me, is going to celebrate for me the Mass of the Dead. You cannot refuse his prayer; you cannot separate me from him for eternity.’ Pastoral Letter, (1946)”
