Are you seeing what our children are seeing?

     We, as adults, have come to know the evils of this world because of our experiences. But those children, have yet to be faced with the challenges in their young lives, that only confrontation can test. It is our job to warn them and prepare them for these challenges. Telling them that what they choose is vital in their Salvation and Crown in Heaven. Unfortunately, we have a powerful enemy that keeps trying to entice and present itself as a voice of reason. Satan. Just like Eve, in the Garden of Eden was told it was okay to go against God's very own voice, and rules. God, giving them everything but telling them just one thing they must not do. God's words were ignored. God knew Satan was watching and listening. The moment that they were supposedly alone was when he struck. Just like he does to us. In our weak and vulnerable moments. In our joyful moments. He strikes. Whispering evil nothings into our ears and presenting pictures for our eyes to see. The Armor of God protects us but we must put it on. 

     Our children "are" our responsibility. Along with the faithful guidance of a God who created them and us. They have been given to us to teach and guide on the narrow path that leads to Heaven. Woe, to anyone that leads these little lambs astray! Be brave! Don't let it make you feel uncomfortable to talk about things that are leading so many to hell! 

     Be watchful of what your children are watching. You have every right! And their love for you or someone who speaks the truth, they cannot refuse to think about their choices. Those little black boxes, "the TV, cell phones, the internet, are all tools the devil uses for evil. Only in the correct mindset, which is for the Honor and Glory of God should they be used. Otherwise, it is a fate of Doom and Perdition, which is not our goal as Elders for the Young. 

     Saint Carlo Acutis, pray and intercede for all young people and guide their eyes and minds to that which is only of God. Amen
