(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!
“Sanctity is not a virtue, it isn’t even all your virtues. Sanctity isn’t your most brilliant qualities, nor your most heroic sacrifices, and it isn’t your perfection. Sanctity is Me, God, in you, man.”
Marie NOËL (1883-1967)
Poet
“Yes, give them the surnatural, give your little ones doctrine, and not only a vague theisme. It is the Gospel, and Saint Paul, and St. John that we have to make known to them; and we must also teach them about the saints, who lived in harmony with those writings. We have to help them understand the magnificent role of sanctity in the world and in the Church, and we have to help them understand that the destinies of the entire Mystical Body are in some way in our hands. We have to give them the taste for sanctity, and inspire them to become collaborators with God, to work and sanctify themselves with this goal in mind. We must also strongly encourage in them all the natural qualities and virtues, loyalty, politeness, etc…, and tell them that it is the Christian that qualifies the man and the man that qualifies the Christian.”
Cardinal SALIÈGE (1870-1956)
Archbishop of Toulouse
