To become a mother is to receive a sacred mission: to place oneself at the service ...

... of one's child and thus to place oneself at the service of life in its greatest and most beautiful aspects.

Here is a text by Joseph Kentenich that speaks to me a lot:

"If parents do not bow with profound respect before the greatness of the child, if in their vocabulary, "child" and "majesty" are not synonymous, if parents, in taking their child in their arms, do not raise in their arms the destiny of the future and the destiny of the world, they deserve to be neither parents nor educators. But if, on the other hand, they do, then they will know that they cannot impose their own questionable laws and opinions on their children in the same way that one cannot impose their orbit on the stars. »

In our western society, many parents do not think before making children. They do it because everybody does it and it is a necessary step, and then, when they are there, they leave their education in the hands of strangers.

Becoming a mother, for me, means accepting this sacred mission. To become my child's educator by putting all my strength, all my energy at the service of life, of her life, in a disinterested way.

And to make of my child, this human being in gestation, in maturation, in progress, what it deserves to be: a king.

Do you also have children? How do you manage their education?
