(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!
“She is not only the first among all women,
‘Blessed among all women’,
She is not only the first among all creatures,
She is a creature set apart, infinitely unique, infinitely rare.”, in The Portal of the Mystery of the Second Virtue. »

“And what of Our Lady? Do you pray to Our Lady?” – “Why, naturally!” – “We all say that – but do you pray to her as you should, as befits her? She is Our Mother – the mother of all flesh, a new Eve. But she is also our daughter. The ancient world of sorrow, the world before the access of grace, cradled her to its heavy heart for many centuries, dimly awaiting a virgo genetrix. For centuries and centuries those ancient hands, so full of sin, cherished the wondrous girl-child whose name even was unknown. A little girl, the queen of the Angels! And she’s still a little girl, remember! The eyes of Our Lady are the only real child-eyes that have ever been raised to our shame and sorrow.”, in The Diary of a Country Priest.
