5 Through him we have
received the grace of apostleship, to bring about the obedience of faith, for
the sake of his name, among all the Gentiles, 6 among whom are you also,
who are called to belong to Jesus Christ; 7 to all the beloved of God
in Rome, called to be holy. Grace to you and PEACE from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Romans, through the Caesars,
sought peace among men by the liberal use of the displays of power and majesty,
using fear as a tool for total control and subjugation. This was the Pax
Romana. Christ, the son of God, by His sacrifice showed the Romans another way;
the true way via the church and the Precious Blood to obtain a far greater
peace; peace with God and finally peace with our selves. This is the triumph of
the Cross.
As a parent we can be more
effective if we remember that using fear as a tool to total control and
subjugation is not the way of Christ.
RULES for parents[1]
Bear in mind the
following:
1.
A little child kicks and screams because he thinks, —or
perhaps because he knows from experience, —that in order to avoid a scene you
will give in to him and let him have what he wants. (Sounds like congress)
You must prove to him that this is a mistaken idea of his. You are not going to
give in.
2.
Do not get angry. Do not slap.
3.
Say firmly, "No; when you stop screaming, I will
speak to you." Then leave the child alone in a safe room. Or, if he must
be in the room with you, do not notice him. Keep busy with something or other.
4.
After a while, say quietly, "Little Jesus does not
like screaming and kicking. He loves you and He does not want you to do
that."
5.
Stop. Keep quiet. Be patient.
6.
If the child slows down at times, waits to see if you
will give in, and then starts up again, do not worry. He is showing that he
begins to understand. Ignore him. Finally, he will yield. He may fall asleep.
7.
Two or three performances like this will end the bad
habit and establish a good one
8.
Remember: Be gentle; but be firm and consistent. Remain
very calm and silent.
