St. John Chrysostom said:
"Having children is a matter of nature; but raising them and educating them in the virtues is a matter of mind and will."
The dear saint continues:
“By the duty of raising them I mean not only not allowing them to die of hunger, as people often limit their obligation toward their children to doing. For this, is needed neither books nor rubrics, for nature speaks of it quite loudly. I am speaking of the concern for educating childrens hearts in virtues and piety—a sacred duty which cannot be transgressed without thereby becoming guilty of the childrens murder, in a certain sense.”
Here’s another comic, inspired by St. John’s statements about inadvertantly becoming our children’s murderers when we neglect their spiritual state.
Well, brothers and sisters, that’s all for today. As always, to read the text that was the source for the St. John Chrysostom quotes, please Click Here (takes you to a website called OrthodoxInfo.com–it’s a good source for a lot of traditional Eastern Christian information. It’s ultra anti-Catholic and a little too radical in many cases but has some very good information as well).
