Responsibility....

"So called moral permissiveness rests on an erroneous conception of human freedom; the necessary precondition for the development of true freedom is to let oneself be educated in the moral law. Those in charge of education can reasonably be expected to give young people instruction respectful of the truth, the qualities of the heart, and the moral and spiritual dignity of man" (Catechism of the Catholic Church,[1994];#2526, p.605).

Surrounded by and immersed in the current 'culture of death' parents have the heightened imperative to instruct their children in the moral law--to persist against all that threatens holiness, and the sanctity of life in particular. Have we forgotten that we are all called to be saints in Christ?
As the Demon rages in our world we must be all the more vigilant in surrounding our children with the light that comes from heaven. This is the most important obligation of a parent.

Holy Mother of God, protect our children...amen
