Excerpt from Woman
In the year 1892, the late Sovereign Pontiff, Leo XIII of pious memory, by Apostolic Letters approved and ratified the new Statutes of the Association of the Holy Family. I take as the best preface to this little book some truths announced by the supreme Pastor and Father to his flock and children in these letters. He opens his Decree of Approbation with the following statement: It is a matter of universal conviction that the welfare of peoples, whether public or private, mainly depends on the formation and training of the family. For the deeper the roots of virtue penetrate in the home, and the more diligently the minds of children are formed under the influence of religion by the teaching and ex ample of their parents, the more happy and fruit ful will be the results to the community and to the fatherland. It is, therefore, of the highest importance, not only that domestic society should be constituted on a sacred foundation, but that it should also be ruled by holy laws, and that the spirit of religion and the discipline of Christian life should be zealously and constantly fostered amongst its members.
