(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!
There is only one way to fashion top model women, and that is to follow the unique model of the woman full of grace.

“It’s your turn to go! It’s your turn, young men and women, to measure the strength of your heart, to learn how to look your duty in the face. It’s your turn to speak, and to prove yourselves; your turn, not to melt like wax, but to stand up, arms folded, against those who laugh in scorn. It’s up to you to let your dearest ideas become volcanic and like great flashes of lightning. It’s up to you to speak words that are capable of shaking things up, strong enough to defy nebulous error and its cavalcade of fears. It’s your turn to live, to pray, and to adore, because it is your turn to love at the cost of yourself. God’s desire is that you get your existence in shape before doing anything else – worrying about all the rest is negligence, and disastrous if you refuse the first step. It is your turn to go forward, even if you can’t turn back – that doesn’t matter. What matters is you, and Him, you with Him.”
