2 October 2021 Care of Our Children
Let
everything take second place to our care of our children, our bringing them up
to the discipline and instruction of the Lord. If from the beginning we teach
them to love true wisdom, they will have great wealth and glory than riches can
provide. If a child learns a trade, or is highly educated for a lucrative
profession, all this is nothing compared to the art of detachment from riches;
if you want to make your child rich, teach him this. He is truly rich who does
not desire great possessions, or surround himself with wealth, but who requires
nothing…Don’t think that only monks need to learn the Bible; Children about to
go our into the world stand in greater need of Scriptural knowledge.
Saint John Chrysostom
