HOME;
FAMILY

It is vitally important that our homes be preserved. A nation is only as strong as its homes. No government can substitute for the ministrations of the family. Federal agencies cannot love and cuddle the baby, not kiss his bruised knee or hear his prayer at the close of the day. Fathers and mothers make homes; nothing else can. And whether our American homes produce delinquents or upright citizens will depend altogether upon what kind of fathers and mothers preside in those homes.

If the home is the oldest institution on earth the Church is the loftiest, and historically there has always been a close relationship between the two. The family that stays close to the church is the one most likely to hold together.
