Do not be surprised if I say that you must honor your family, that you love your parents, that husband and wife love each other, that man must not regard the woman as a slave, but a worthy companion, that the woman may see man as her defender, her shield, and that the parents bring to the world healthy children, whom they will guide along the path of righteousness.

Beloved fathers, you who were sent to form a home and have a family, have the responsibility that your young ones do not stray, and as heads of family, you should set a good example and give your blessings.

You, women of Israel, have a delicate mission on Earth, similar to Mary, the Purest Mother, because you should be the loving skylarks filled with warmth, filled with love, and because of it, you should not carry a whip in your hands toward your little ones. No, my beloved ones, it is the perfect will of the Father that with love you should be guiding the steps of your young children; speak to them about the Father so that at an early age they may recognize their Father who is in the Great Beyond, and from those little ones of today will emerge the illuminated, the prophets, the doctors.

Love one another and live in peace within your home because I have observed that out of five members who form a family, two are against three and three are against two.

Watch over the virtue of your family and over the peace in your home. Behold how even the poor can be the owners of this treasure.

You men: Are you practicing patience with your partner? You women: Have you been patient with your husband? And both consorts: Have you been patient in amending your children?

If I find of his home the hearth unlit, I will call the husband and say: Why aren’t you gentle and understanding? If I find him away from his obligations I will surprise him saying: Why have you strayed away from the path?

I will touch the wife’s most delicate fibers of her heart and ask: Woman, do you think you will find the love and respect that you are longing for outside your home? No, do not deceive yourself.

No one heart will remain that I cannot make it perceive My voice, inviting it toward reconciliation, love and peace.

From now on moralize your life, rebuild your homes and unite your family. That the father goes in search for the son who ran away from home and the sons look for the one who abandoned them; that the wife returns to the arms of her companion and that the husband who abandoned his duties, looks for his partner and rebuilds a new and better existence.

Live in harmony and in peace within your home and your society.

If you are sons, understand and appreciate the kindness of your parents. If you are parents, learn how to understand your children. If you are husband and wife, know and love each other.

I say to the parents of the family, that in the same way they are concerned about the material future of their children they should do the same for their spiritual future.

Men, when you rush home because you want to hold your wife in your arms, or see yourself in the eyes of your children, and your heart is happy because you are going to give your family the fruits of your labor: Pray for those men who are in the battlegrounds and who will not be able to return to search for their homes, because they have been razed.

When you feel some joy do not forget that at that same hour many are weeping.

You, women and mothers, when you lower our head to kiss your child’s forehead who sleeps peacefully in the cradle, think about those mothers who were once like skylarks and have now lost their nest, their partner and their sons, because the war like a hurricane-like wind destroyed everything.

When you close the door and feel the sweet warmth of home and its protection, think also of those mothers who search in the bowels of the earth for a place to protect their children against death; think about the children who call for their parents without receiving any answer, and those who can only say one word: bread.

Turn your home into a second temple, and make of your affections a second act of reverence. If you believe you love Me, love your spouse and love your children, because from that shrine great deeds, thoughts and examples will also sprout.
