(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!
“Youth! You have enthusiasm which is capable of drawing others, and the future is yours! Let the Word of God Who dwells in you burn within, let He Who is the Eternal Light shine out from you and illuminate every man in the world.”
PIUS XII (1876-1958)
Eugenio Pacelli, Pope from 1939 to 1958
“Today, dear daughters, your crusade is not marked by the sword, by blood, or by martyrdom, but rather it is marked by example, by word, and by exhortation. Against all your energy and your plans such a capital enemy has risen up — the demon of impurity and the abandonment of morals. Raise your head high to the heavens, where Christ and the Immaculate Virgin, His Mother, are looking down on you. Be strong and unbending in the accomplishment of your Christitain duties. Defend purity while marching against the corruption which softens the youth of today. Render your dear country the service of a priceless virtue which works and cooperates efficaciously to spread purity and candor to other souls. In doing so you will help those souls to be more prudent, more vigilant, you will help them be stronger, and more generous. May 22nd, 1941”
