THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON

Philip, his mother said one day~ can yourepea~ what yo~ learned to-day ?Yes, mother, I think I can°

I learned that God is my kind Father in heaven.He made the ~arth, the sun, the moon, the starsand everything we see in the world.He made me, and you, and all men, and Me placedus in this beautiful world to love and serve Him.God loves me and watches over meo He put aGuardian Angel at my side to keep me from allharm.

He gave me the Blessed Virgin Mary as myheavenly mother to guide me home to heaven.

I must love God with all my heart, my soul.and my mind. I must th~nk Him each day forHis goodness to meo.l must try to keep His holylaw in all things, for God sees my heart.He knows when I do right and wh~n I do wrop$:this must mak~h~ ~iove to dO rfght and fea~’todo wrong° . ~

I cannot d0 ~g~b# my own means." but if Iask God to help me, He will do it°If~ lead a holy life, God w~il take me with Himwhen I die; there I shall be happy forever°
