Our vocation is to love. That is the vocation of a Christian. But you also have the vocation to be a parent, to be a wife, to be a husband, to be a son or daughter, just as I also have the vocation to be a priest. Lead a life worthy of your vocation to be a parent, to be a wife or husband, to be a son or daughter. A good parent, or spouse or child is one who builds up and gives encouragement.
Parents give money to their children but good parents give their children something more.
If children live with hostility, They learn to fight. If children live with ridicule, They learn to be shy. If children live with encouragement, They learn confidence. If children live with praise, They learn to appreciate. If children live with fairness, They learn justice.
