Virtue in Their Souls...

Berthe Morisot, Eugene Manet and His Daughter, Julie, in the Garden, 1883

When we teach our children to be good, to be gentle, to be forgiving (all these are attributes of God), to be generous, to love their fellow men, to regard this present age as nothing, we instill virtue in their souls, and reveal the image of God within them.  This, then, is our task:  to educate both ourselves and our children in godliness."

Saint John Chrysostom
