The Family by Carmen Poirier

The family is very important to me. It is the base of our society. The family is a natural school of life where the love is a motor.

It is a place of belonging where we learn by experience to live in society. It is essential to educate our children to live in concord with our moral and religious convictions. It is important to help them acquire the knowledge of good and evil, to develop community values where we live in peace and harmony with other persons and other nations....

The family is a place where we learn to communicate, to take our place, and respect others. The dialogue develops trusting relationship and mutual respect. Eating our meals in the family becomes an occasion to discuss different subjects and enjoy beautiful moments of tenderness and comfort together.

We have the responsibility to teach our children the true notions of freedom.
