Catholic Unschooling Quote from St. Therese

Hands of a Priest Holy Card kept by St Therese of Lisieux

 Here is a quote from St. Therese of Lisieux that supports our work as Catholic Unschooling parents:

"Trying to do good to people (in the case of home education, our children) without God's help is no easier than making the sun shine at midnight. You discover that you've got to abandon all your own preferences, your own bright ideas, and guide souls along the road our Lord has marked out for them. You mustn't coerce them into some path of your own choosing."

  

Great for child-led and interest-led learning, ie. following our children's interests and connecting with them, even though we may not have the same interests.  The work of Catholic Unschooling parents can be part of the royal road to sanctification.
