With Your Rule
The Task of Parenthood
"Children very soon learn about life. They watch and imitate the behavior of adults. They rapidly learn love and respect for others, but they also quickly absorb the poison of violence and hatred. Family experiences strongly condition the attitudes that children will assume as adults.... Catholic parents must learn to form their family as [a] domestic Church, a Church in the home where God is honored, His law respected, prayer is a normal event, virtue is transmitted by word and example, and everyone shares the hopes, the problems and sufferings of everyone else."
Pope John Paul II, in "Go in Peace: A Gift of Enduring Love:, Edit: Jospeh Durepos, Chicago, Loyola Press, 2003, pp148,150
