(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!
In memory of my grandmother, humble peasant, who never knew how to write, but who was the first to teach me the French language.
Charles Péguy (1873-1914)
Writer, poet
“I went into exile when I was twelve years old. My mother felt she could give me nothing more precious than the best possible preparation and recollection for my First Communion. To that end, she was willing to go to great lengths and sent me away. So I left my parents, my doll, my garden, and the little exotic birds I kept in a cage, and I went to spend a year with the Benedictine nuns. They were like mothers to me, but I cried a good deal, even so. Today I don’t regret that exile, because without it I would never have my most precious documents—the letters my mother wrote to her little girl.”
Marie du Merle (1880-1974)
