Parents beware! Inspire your children to be diligent and enthusiastic about keeping occupied with good things whether it be work, prayer, study or healthy recreation. Lead by example!
"Rest never means idleness."
"An idle mind is the devil’s workshop."
"Avoid idleness and idle people; carry out your duties. Whenever you are idle you are in serious danger of falling into sin, because idleness teaches us all kinds of vice."
"As soon as you become aware of temptation, busy yourself with something. Idleness and modesty can’t go together. In overcoming idleness, you will overcome temptations against purity."
St. John Bosco

God shapes everyone’s heart according to the purpose for which He destines it (cf. Ps 33:15), just as the potter skillfully molds each vessel he makes into a specific shape.

DISCIPLINE IN THE TRULY CATHOLIC HOME
“Let everything take place at its proper time,” the Holy Spirit reminds us. Punishing a child is very much the same. Choosing the right moment is very important. If we use so much care in healing an illness or an injury, should we not be equally solicitous in character healing?
St. John Bosco (Feast Day January 31)

FIRM IN SWEETNESS, SWEET IN FIRMNESS
A truly Catholic Lady remains ever faithful to Catholic principles; or, rather, to becoming ever more similar to her Divine Model, the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This implies living out a daily, moment-by-moment martyrdom, for the prevailing attitude is one of concession and compromise toward evil. She needs unbreakable rectitude, and to engage in a continual and all-out fight to guard her unshakeable position of fidelity.
But through it all, her sweetness shows how human her rectitude is. Were it not for this, it could hint of heartlessness.
Baccarat crystal, which is strong, but has some flexibility, could be taken as a symbol of a truly Catholic lady, whose soul has these qualities, par excellence. Her delicacy, her affable treatment of others, the accuracy of her judgements, the firmness of her decisions, and all of the nuances of her personality reflect the unique qualities of this crystal – some of which are even apparently contradictory: brilliance, refinement, and rigidity along with flexibility and subtlety.
She maintains this way of being even in the midst of life’s difficulties and tempests. While she rarely takes the deliberation of cutting off contact with someone, she is unwavering, will not give in, step back, or yield. She will not create a clash, but she will advance.

We need to teach our children to fight the good fight! St. Therese, pray for us!
Lord God of hosts, who has said in the Gospel: “I have come not to bring peace, but a sword”, arm me for the fight. I ardently desire to fight for Your glory, but I implore You: enliven my courage… Then I will be able to exclaim with Holy King David: “Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle…”
O my Beloved! I know what warfare You have destined for me; it is not on the battlefields that I shall fight…
I am a prisoner of Your love; of my own free will I have riveted the fetters that bind me to You and separate me forever from the world by You accursed. My sword is none other than love. With it I will drive the strangers from the land, and will have You proclaimed King over the souls who refuse to submit to Your divine power.
Truly, Lord, You have no need of an instrument as weak as I, but Joan, your virginal and valiant spouse, said: “We must fight, for God to give the victory.”
I will therefore fight for your love until the evening of my life, O my Jesus. And as You were pleased not to take rest on this earth, I want to follow Your example, hoping that the promise which came from Your sacred lips will be fulfilled in me: “If any one follows Me, where I am, there will he will be also, and my Father will honour him” (cf. Jn 12:26).
Prayer composed by St. Therese of the Child Jesus, inspired by a statue of St. Joan of Arc

We must understand that trials—those inseparable companions of our pilgrimage through this valley of tears—are part of God’s plan for us and necessary for sanctification. Although it may seem otherwise while we experience them, Divine Providence itself prepares our trials.
Feel free to write to us for prayers if you are going through trials.
