Kad nežeistų šeimos skauduliai

BOOK DESCRIPTION Revised Second Edition Parents see themselves as devout Catholics, but what do their children see? Do they see a mother and a father both living in contemplative love for God with a faithful emotional awareness of divine presence and engaged in an all-out battle with the evil of the world? More often than not children don’t see living faith. They don’t see protection from evil. They don’t see genuine, fruitful devotion. They don’t see genuine love for God. Instead, they see external acts of devotion as insincere because they see all the other things their parents do that contradict the true faith. Thus, parents lose credibility—and when parents lose credibility, children become cynical and angry, fall from their faith, and turn to the social world around them for identity and acceptance. They become children who have more concern for social acceptance than for loving God. They are fallen children. Let’s bring them back. CONTENTS Preface Part The Psychological Background
