(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!
There comes a time when the simply good men will end up being great men.

“The voice that France holds as her own and the testimony she bears to the the world will, in the different moments of history, have taken on many styles and appearances – those of great heroes, of saints, of the humble, or of little ones; that of a king dying at the Crusades, that of a shepherdess reciting her rosary before the grotto of Masabielle, or that of a chairmaker writing in his journals one after the other; there are so many states in life, so many careers in which one of the voices of France expresses itself suddenly, and the history of France is not finished – there will be an infinite number of others, either faithful to their vocation or unfaithful; and, as we know, holding a discourse of deceit in this case, giving it the glamour and strength that had been granted to proclaim the principles for which we stand, to serve the promise kept, to re-establish the honor of sworn faith.”
