Researchers suggest that helping children develop a powerful “intergenerational self” reminds them that they belong to something larger than themselves. They are not the main characters in the family story, but part of a chapter that is still being written. This is the opposite of the concept of “everyone is around me” and in this sense has a valuable decentering effect.

You need to accustom yourself to prayer when everything is good, so that this skill will work when things are bad. Because at the moment of testing, each of us experiences carnal weakness - panic, fear, confusion, loss of strength; and if the spirit, strengthened by prayer, is vigorous, then it subdues the weakened flesh, guides it, and gives courage to accomplish feats.
