(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!
Oh women, thanks to the child, you are sublime.

“My father. My mother. Rod and piston of a formidable locomotive pulling behind it all those who wish to depart on the happiness train… and even those who recoiled before the effort… for there was certainly effort involved, a great deal of effort. Never dismayed by the hurdles, by frailty, by dissension, always united to ensure it was the Idea that survived, my parents introduced us with an energy which today seems superhuman, to life in a society and to a life of solitude, the solitude of the dreamer-child who, by his very dreams, touches something of the immensity of the universe. At my parents’ home in Dijon, called Les Buissonnets, everything was enthusiasm and joy. Even the punishments. “I know someone who is about to get a good crack, oh!” Mother would begin… and in the end we would be happy and carefree again.”
