When your children are still small, you have to help them understand what is good. That is the deepest meaning of life.
– St. Paisios (at Omaha, Nebraska)

We live in a time where the enemies surround our children. There are forces pulling them in all directions. Children abuse children. Predators hunt the unsuspecting in chat rooms, websites. Marketing pollutes the mind. And noise pollutes the ears.

We face demonic forces making use of every facet available. All directed at our children. All focused on perverting the good. Praising the debased.

God help us to fight the enemy on every side. It feels like I am out flanked. Out maneuvered. Over-powered. But this too is a lie.

I stand with the Church across all ages. The Body both within and without time. I will fight for my children. I will stand for Christ amidst the onslaught.
