(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!
“The family, assembled under a solid roof, is the smile and the promise of eternal France.”

Lawyer, Novelist, and Essayist
“I will never forget that they are young: I will not ask them to take on my own soul, adult or old man, but I’ll take on their soul, young and rambunctious, and I will keep them in that atmosphere of joy and gaiety, of the games they love to play. The measure of my houses will not be the chapel, but the playground. If the playground is loud and rowdy and filled with shouting, if everyone is running about engaged in games of their choice, if the children leave the playing field out of breath, worn out and all used up, I’ll say: piety, work, and morality are assured in this house.”
Père Augustin-Ferdinand AUFFRAY (1881-1955)
Biographer of Don Bosco
