(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!
“The child accepts everything from the one who gives the example.”, in La famille
Father de CHIVRÉ (1902 -1984)
Dominican
“Not only did Father Berto show his children much love, not only did he teach them to love the truth, but he wanted to communicate to them the love of beauty, as the necessary complement to the introduction to truth. He said that this was the reason for his demands in exterior comportment, language, the choice of leisure activities ….. This was the reason he wanted to give the house a beautiful chapel which would not only favor the solemnity of the liturgical cult, but which would, by its beauty, help souls to pray and make them holier.” in We Are Heirs, December 9, 1970
