Elder Porphyrius on Children with Reactionary Characters:

If you have a child with a reactionary character, whatever you want to say to him, say to God first. Kneel before God and through the grace of God your words will be conveyed to your child….

Don’t pressure your children. Whatever you want to say to them, say it with your prayers. Children don’t listen with their ears. They’ll only listen to what we want to tell them when divine grace appears and enlightens them. When you want to say something to your child, say it to the Panagia [Mother of God] instead and she will do all the work. Your prayers will become a spiritual hug, which embraces your child and captivates them.

   I needed that today…after dealing with a reactionary sister who is having a hard time hearing…I’ve read that before, but I really needed to hear it today. Helps me take my edge off…

   I think the use of the term “reactionary” in this context is funny.
