Archpriest Dimitry Smirnov. (№ 387533)

When we see kind and well-behaved children, involuntarily happy for their parents and a little envy them because our kids often are not.
One parishioner told me: "why is it that these children, and I have one of these? Why is she all go to the temple, and the priests the sons, and a daughter married to a priest, although she was raised one, and my husband was, but my children and in Church do not go, and not pious, and to me?"
Failed to educate. This is a very difficult thing, a huge feat. It is good to raise children - it is almost save your soul, not just because God needs godly people, and because this feat induces man to advance on all fronts and win battle after battle, it is a spiritual battle for the soul of the child. And education, of course, depends primarily on the piety of the parents.
