(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!
I pray very much for the education of your dear children; their entire life, and especially their eternity, depend upon it. And it is sometimes so difficult for parents to raise their children in a Christian way… however, the good Lord will certainly help those who do their duty at all cost.
Dom Placide de Roton (1908-1952)
Abbot of la Pierre-qui-Vire
“I pray that God will help you especially in this work of education, a work that is so beautiful since it associates parents with His divine government, giving them the privilege of forming the elect of heaven since all life, and therefore the future life as well, depends on the first education we have received. But this work is delicate and often difficult: and so, I pray with all my heart that Our Lord Jesus Christ come to your aid. I bless your little ones and you too, my dearest big sister, kissing you affectionately.”
