(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!
“When God desires Redemption, He knows first of all how to prepare the heart of a woman with courage to accept His will.
May He have such compassion on you, ladies, in this dark time in our world, that He work this first miracle in your hearts: the miracle of a response to the angel’s message, of silent obedience during a long maternal life, of a perfect offering at Calvary in the consummated sacrifice.”
Father DONCOEUR (1880-1961)
Jesuit, military and scout chaplain
“It is we ourselves who must prepare the way of the Lord in our hearts. For the heart of man is great and vast if it is pure. His greatness does not consist in exterior dimensions, but in the strength of his intelligence, which renders him capable of possessing the truth.
Prepare, then, by a holy life, the way of the Lord in your heart; straighten the path of your life by the excellence and perfection of your works, that God’s word might enter into you without hindrance.” in Sermons on the Gospels
