"When you cut a tree, its branches immediately dry up, and if you “water” its root, the branches are filled with strength. So you, parents, can be likened to a tree: you are the root of your children and when you “water” yourself with fasts, prayers, with alms and good deeds, God protects your children too. And if you “wither” from sins, God also kills your children, sending you to hell with them. If the apple tree produces sour apples, who is to blame: the apple tree or the apple tree? , do the right thing, parents, so that your “apples” become sweet.” Cosmas of Etomia....So this story about a family, in which the main core of education is the personal example of the parents, teaches us not to forget our roots and to maintain our human dignity in any situation.
