Parents-Family-Children: selected patristic passages
When, through the Sacrament of Marriage, a man and a woman are united “into one flesh” according to the command of the triune God, as mentioned in the book of Genesis (1:27-28; 2:18; 21-24), a husband and wife are created and their married life begins. From this point, the mutual obligations of the spouses begin, the shared joys of harmonious coexistence, but also the sorrows and conflicts with their consequences. And of course, all those issues related to childbearing, the upbringing and education of children. What do the Fathers of the Church say about these and other related issues? And even more, what are the obligations of children towards their parents? What do they advocate for the bond between siblings? Why are wise young people – despite their age – worthy of respect? And, finally, what is the position of the Fathers gathered in this volume regarding young men and women who leave their families to dedicate themselves entirely to Christ? A question that even today provokes lively discussions in the media.
