(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!
“It is better to keep children to their duty by a sense of honor and by kindness than by fear.”

“Truth must be our great passion. Our thoughts must be true; our desires, our heart’s affections, every movement of our life, must be true. To reach this goal demands formidable work. Study is necessary, and most of all, there is need of recollection, a great interior silence, and a constant submission to this intimate and mysterious word which God speaks within each of our hearts.”
