Holy Scripture is divided into two main parts: the books of the Old Testament, before the Incarnation of the Son and Logos/Word of God, and the books of the New Testament, after the Incarnation of the Logos/Word. Both the Old and the New Testaments were given by revelation of the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, to the Prophets of the Old Testament by the unincarnate Logos/Word, as the Angel of the Great Counsel, and to the Apostles of the New Testament by the Incarnate Logos/Word--Christ.

As one holy elder (geronta) said: "The devil rages against each of our young ones with fiery breath." I think the "problem" is that the advice most parents need, they don't want, since it involves them giving up their precious time on the various devices. Or, the parents want to live a comfortable lifestyle, one that requires the mother to work also, and so the home loses its sacred character because the mother is absent. People don't want to admit this, but it is possible to live on much less for the sake of the children if there is motivation. A lot of it is about money and the level of comfort people want to have, and so most are unwilling to sacrifice comfort or monetary security for the sake of the children.

The Confession of children, especially of those who are coming for the first time into this saving Mystery (Sacrament), is a work of the greatest importance. Here, in repentance, before the priest, before the servant of God, children open their soul and receive from it [i.e., Confession] the power given to it from on High, not only forgiveness but also instruction in moral life.

John was the son of Zebedee the fisherman and Salome the daughter of Joseph, the betrothed of the Holy Mother of God. Called by the Lord Jesus, John immediately left his father and the fishing nets and followed Christ with his brother James. From that time, he was not parted from his Lord until the end. With Peter and James, he was present at the raising of Jairus's daughter and at the Lord's Transfiguration, and laid his head on Jesus' breast at the Mystical (Last) Supper.

"As each has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good steward of the manifold grace of God" (1 Peter 4:10).

Whatever gifts God has given to His people are to be used for the glory of God and in a spirit of love (see Romans 12:4-10; 1 Corinthians 12-14). Our Almighty God and Father blessed us with gifts and talents to benefit others.
