THOUGHTS FOR PARENTS.
Here we address the following exhortations to all persons, parents or tutors, who are charged with the task of education, beseeching them to give serious attention thereto.
1. Be what the children ought to be.
2. Do what the children ought to do.
3. Avoid what they should avoid.
4. Aim always, that not only in the presence of the children, but also in their absence, your conduct may serve them for an example.
5. Are any among them defective. Examine what you are yourself, what you do, what you avoid—in a word your whole conduct.
6. Do you discover in your children defects, sins wandering? Begin by improving yourself, and seeking afterwards to improve your children.
7. Think well that those by whom you are surrounded, are often only the reflection of yourself.
8. If you lead a life of penitence, and seek daily to have grace given you, it will be imparted to you, and through you to your children.
9. If you always seek Divine guidance, your children will be more willingly directed by you.
