(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!
“It is an absolute necessity that the father and mother of the family survey with extreme care the books which enter into their home. Not only bad books, but also all books which are futile or frivolous ought to be excluded. The same surveillance should be given to all music which is brought into the home.”
Général de SONIS (1825-1887)
Officer of the French Army whose fame is known particularly from the battle of Loigny during the war of 1870
“Concerning children, I have forgotten to insist on the necessity of the father and mother watching over them at every instant, in order to protect the holy virtue of purity in them. It is difficult to truly imagine what disasters happen to virtuous children in the company of even a single child who has lost his innocence… The vice I’m speaking of not only inevitably ravages the soul, but it also weakens the intelligence, and destroys the strength of the body little by little, going even so far as the destruction of the sources of life.”
