(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!
“Only silence knows how to speak to us but normally we do not know how to hear it.”
RAMUZ (1878-1947)
Swiss Writer and Poet
“The current flow of superfluous and detailed information impoverishes our souls even unto destitution. There is an ongoing rivalry to overwhelm us. How can we protect the right of silence for our ears, the right of having an interior regard for our eyes?”
SOLJÉNITSYNE (1918-2008)
Russian Writer
