“Selfishness…because of love of comfort, of self, or of possession… often causes a loosening of family morals, a yielding to worldly and sinful practices, and thus allows paganism to creep into the Christian home….Therefore the sublime and difficult task of child-rearing demands that you be willing to embrace self-sacrifice and self-discipline… Cultivate inexhaustible patience, deep faith and trust in God, devotion to duty, prayerfulness and a right reverence for your children’s human dignity.”
