Pray, and when you have to, speak to your
children with love. Lots of prayer and few words. Lots of prayer and few words
for everyone. We mustn't become an annoyance, but rather pray secretly and then
speak, and GOD will let us know in our hearts whether the others have accepted
what we have said. If not, we become an annoyance and make others react or even
infuriate them. That is why it is better to speak mystically to the heart of
others through secret prayer than to their ears.
--Elder Porphyrios the
Kapsokalivite
