"If you add little by little and do it often, it will soon become a lot." Hesiod.
THEME
"Saving is Beneficial"
The frequent practice of this activity generates, forever, self-confidence and security, tenacity, prudence and awareness of individuality.
Motivate yourself to save at least 20% of the money you get so that you can later buy something useful. This habit can help you get what you want when you are an adult.
Saving is not greed.
Saving has a goal. It is planned.
The miser saves for the pleasure of having money without giving it any use.
Find a piggy bank or convince your parents or guardians to open a savings account for you.
If you are already 18 years old, you can open one on your own. You just have to go to the bank of your choice with the required documentation.
It is recommended that you also learn to save water and electricity in your home; as well as take care of your clothes, shoes, accessories and everything that your parents have made available to you with sacrifice.
Just as you should not "squander" money; but save it, so should you take care of everything you get with it.
Read and reflect:
There is no true peace if it is not accompanied by equity, truth, justice, and solidarity." John Paul II (1920-2005.

MORAL DUTIES OF MAN.
OF THE DUTIES TO GOD.
1st part.
It is enough to cast a glance at the firmament, or at any of the wonders of creation and contemplate, in an instant, the infinite goods and comforts that the earth offers to conceive, of course, the wisdom and greatness of God, and all that we owe love to him, to his goodness and to his mercy.
Indeed, who but God has created the world and governs it? Who has established and preserves that unalterable order with which the formidable and prodigious mass of the Universe traverses the times? Who watches incessantly over our happiness and that of all the objects that are dear to us on earth and, finally, who, but He, can offer us, and offers us, the immense happiness of eternal salvation?
We are therefore indebted to Him for all our love, all our gratitude, and the deepest adoration and obedience; and in all situations of life, in the midst of the innocent pleasures that His generous hand pours out on the path of our existence, as well as in the midst of the misfortune with which, in the inscrutable judgments of His infinite wisdom, He sometimes tests our patience and our faith.
We are obliged to pay Him our homage, and to direct our fervent prayers to Him so that He may make us worthy of His benefits in the world, and of the glory He reserves for our virtues in Heaven.
God is the being who unites the immensity of greatness and perfection; and we, although His creatures and destined to enjoy Him for all eternity, are very humble and imperfect beings. Thus, our praises can add nothing to His sovereign attributes.
But He is pleased with them and receives them as a tribute, due to the majesty of His glory, and as tokens of adoration and love that the heart offers Him in the outpouring of its most sublime sentiments, and nothing can, therefore, excuse us from addressing them to Him.
Neither can our prayers make Him more just, because all His attributes are infinite, nor are they necessary for Him to know our needs and our desires, because He penetrates into the most intimate part of our hearts. But these prayers are a sincere expression of the recognition that He is the source of all good, of all consolation and of all happiness, and with them we move His mercy, and appease the severity of His divine justice, irritated by our offenses, because He is a God of goodness and His goodness also has no limits.
How natural and proper it is for man to turn to his Creator, to speak to Him of his sorrows with the confidence of a son speaking to a most tender and loving father, to ask Him for relief from his pain and forgiveness of his faults, and with a sweet look full of religious unction, to show Him his love and faith as the titles of his hope! Thus, at the act of going to bed as well as at getting up, we will raise our soul to God; and with all the fervour of a sensitive and grateful heart, we will address our praises to Him, we will thank Him for all His benefits and we will beg Him to continue to bestow them upon us.

MORAL DUTIES OF MAN.
OF THE DUTIES TOWARDS GOD.
Second Part.
We will ask God for our parents, for our families, for our country, for our benefactors and friends, as well as for our enemies and we will make vows for the happiness of the human race and, especially, for the consolation of the afflicted and unfortunate, and for those souls who find themselves straying from the path of blessedness.
And then, collecting our spirit, and praying to God to enlighten us with the lights of reason and grace, we will examine our conscience and we will propose to use the most effective means to avoid the faults that we have committed during the course of the day.
Such are our duties when we go to sleep and when we wake up, in which, besides the satisfaction of having fulfilled our duty to God and having devoted a moment to philanthropy, we will find the inestimable advantage of correcting our defects daily, improving our moral condition and advancing on the path of virtue, the only one that leads to true happiness.
It is also an act due to God and proper to a grateful heart, to always show Him our gratitude when we get up from the table. If we should never forget to thank the person from whom we receive a service, however small, with how much more reason should we not thank Providence every time it dispenses the greatest of benefits to us? What is the means of preserving life?
In the duties to God are found all social duties and all the prescriptions of morality. He is the model of all virtues, the most loving father, the most obedient son, the most faithful husband, the most useful citizen to his country.
And truly, what is the human law, what principle, what rule that directs men to good and turns them away from evil, that does not have its origin in the Commandments of God, in that law of laws, so sublime and complete as it is simple and brief? Where is there anything more in accordance with the order that should reign in nations and families, with the dictates of justice, with the generous impulses of charity and noble beneficence, and with everything that contributes to the happiness of man on earth, than the principles contained in the evangelical law?
We fulfill the sacred duty of obedience to God by faithfully keeping His laws, and those that your priest or pastor has dictated in the legitimate use of the divine delegation that he exercises; and this is, at the same time, the most effective and most direct means of acting in favor of our well-being in this world, and of the happiness that awaits us in the bosom of heavenly glory. But that is not all: the duties we are dealing with are not limited to our internal relations with the Divinity.
The human heart, essentially communicative, feels an invincible inclination to express its affections by external signs and demonstrations.
We must, therefore, manifest to God our love, our gratitude and our adoration, with public acts that, while satisfying our heart, serve as a healthy example to those who observe us.
And since the temple is the house of the Lord, and the place destined to pay Him our homage, let us try to visit it as often as possible, always showing in it all the devotion and all the recollection that such a sacred place inspires. Priests and pastors, ministers of God on earth, have the high mission of maintaining divine worship and of leading our souls along the path of eternal happiness.
Such an elevated character imposes on us the duty of respecting and honoring them, always listening with interest and docility to the advice with which they favor us, when in the name of their divine master and in the performance of his august ministry he addresses us with his voice of charity and consolation.
Great is without doubt the fault we incur in offending our neighbors, whoever they may be; but even more serious in the eyes of God is the offense directed at the priest or pastor, because with it we injure the Divinity, who has invested him with sacred attributes and made him his representative in this world.
Let us conclude, then, the chapter on duties toward God, recommending respect for priests, as a manifestation of our respect for God himself, and as an unequivocal sign of a good moral and religious education.
TO GROW
Read and Reflect:
'Sow good ideas in children, even if they don't understand them. The years will take care of deciphering them in their understanding and making them flourish in their hearts' (Maria Montessori).
"Take care of your brothers, children and people smaller than you"
The constant practice of this activity generates solidarity, empathy, tolerance, a spirit of service and the ability to create groups of affection forever.
Taking care of them means:
encouraging them when they do good deeds and correcting and advising them when they commit unwanted or antisocial actions. Taking care of them, furthermore, is protecting them, offering them part of your time, striving to make them feel happy and giving them lots of love. (Your parents will explain what this means).
·accompany them in their solitude,
·play with them,
·protect them from danger,
·guide them in their schoolwork,
·take care, likewise, of all the children younger than you.
·Do not make them suffer.
·Defend them from those who try to hurt them.
This exercise develops your virility and sense of solidarity. You must learn to care for the product of virility: a human being.
Read and Reflect:
Solidarity is a human value and, according to the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy, it means: “circumstantial adherence to the cause or enterprise of others.” Adhesion is accompanying another: in their cause, in their needs, in their well-being.
Read and Reflect:
“Loyalty is one of the most precious human values. The disloyal man is worth less than garbage; because garbage infects with its fetid smell everyone around him; but the disloyal man infects with his intrigues and fallacies, any person no matter how far away they are.” Amimundo
For Your Knowledge:
Develop self-confidence and security, the ability to act in the world around you and awareness of individuality.
This activity aims to show you the knowledge you need to survive and be competitive in your community.

Urbanity by Manuel Carreño.
Duties to our parents.
The authors of our days, those who collected and dried our first tears, those who endured the miseries and discomforts of our childhood, those who dedicated all their efforts to the difficult task of our education and to building our happiness, are for us the most privileged and venerable beings that exist on earth.
In the midst of the needs of all kinds to which, without distinction of persons or categories, human nature is subject, there may be many occasions in which a child must help his parents, sweeten their sorrows and even make sacrifices for their well-being and happiness.
But will he ever be able to repay them for all that he owes them? What can he do that will discharge the immense debt of gratitude that he has contracted with them?
Ah! the protective care of a father and a mother is of such a high and sublime order, so cordial, so disinterested, so constant, that it is in no way comparable to the other acts of love and benevolence which the heart of man offers us, and we can only see it as an emanation of those with which Providence covers and protects all mortals.
When we think of a mother's love, we seek in vain for words with which we could worthily describe this incomprehensible affection, of infinite extent, of inexplicable intensity, of divine inspiration; and we must soar on the wings of the purest enthusiasm until we find Mary at the foot of the cross, offering, in the midst of that bloody scene, the most perfect and most pathetic picture of maternal love.
Yes! there is this sentiment represented as it is. There it is divinized. There is enshrined the first of the titles which make woman so worthy an object and give her so much right to the consideration of man!
The love and sacrifices of a mother begin from the moment she carries us in her womb. How many physical sufferings, how many privations, are there to preserve the life of the child whom nature has identified with her own being, and whom she loves to the extreme before her eyes have even seen him!
How much care she takes in his food, how much concern and diligence in all the acts of her physical and moral existence, to found from then on for her beloved offspring a robust and healthy health, a life without pain!
The father cares for his wife with more tenderness than ever, lives worried about the dangers that surround her, accompanies her in her privations, consoles her in her sufferings, and devotes himself with her to watching over the sweet fruit of his love.
And in the midst of the anxiety and the pleasant illusions that this picture of fear and hope presents, it is more than ever worthy of note how alien to a father and a mother are the cold and hateful calculations of selfishness.
If the child they expect is so far from the age at which it can be useful to them; if to reach that age it must cost them so much trouble, so many tears, and so many sacrifices; if an early death can finally snatch it from their affection, making all their cares fruitless and all their hopes illusory, what is there that is not noble and sublime in that tenderness with which they already love it and prepare to shower it with caresses and benefits?
Nothing is more touching, nothing more beautiful, and no more brilliant proof that the love of parents is the purest affection that can be harbored in the human heart..

Duties to our parents.
Second part.
The child is finally born, at the cost of cruel suffering!
His first sign of life is a moan as if destiny were there to welcome him into its arms, to imprint on his forehead the seal of pain that will accompany him on his pilgrimage from the cradle to the grave.
Of course, the parents surround him with love, greet him with a kiss of blessing, lavish their caresses on him, protect his weakness and his innocence.
There begins that series of exquisite care, contemplation, condescension and sacrifice, which triumph over all obstacles, all vicissitudes and even ingratitude itself, and which do not end until death.
Our early years rob our parents of all their peace of mind and deprive them, at every step, of the joys and comforts of social life.
During that period of our childhood when nature denies us the ability to care for our own needs, a stage when our organs are too weak and impressionable, any slight accident can alter our health and possibly compromise it forever.
Their affectionate and constant care makes up for our impotence and defends us from the dangers that surround us on all sides.
How many worries, how many alarms, how many tears our illnesses cost them!
How much vigilance they must put on our improvidence! How inexhaustible must be their patience to take care of us and seek our good, in the open struggle with our absolute ignorance, as well as with the capricious and turbulent will of early years!
How much dedication, how much love, to guide us through so many risks and difficulties, to the age when our intelligence begins to help us!
As soon as they discover in us a glimmer of reason, they rush to begin the arduous and important task of our moral and intellectual education; and it is they who imprint in our soul the first ideas, which serve as a basis for all subsequent knowledge and as norms for undertaking the thorny path of life.
Their first concern is to make us know God. How sublime, how august, how sacred then appears the mission of a father and a mother!
The heart overflows with gratitude and tenderness, when we consider that they were the first to give us an idea of that infinitely great, powerful and good being, before whom the entire universe prostrates itself, and they taught us to love him, to adore him and to pronounce his praises.
After they have made us aware that we are creatures of that imponderable being, thus ennobling us in our own eyes and sanctifying our spirit, they do not cease to provide us with useful knowledge of all kinds with which we are making the test of life and preparing ourselves to contribute to the full development of our faculties, in the laudable and generous endeavor to enrich our heart with virtues, and our understanding with ideas useful to ourselves and to our fellow men, they do not omit any effort to provide us with education.
However small their fortune may be, even when they are condemned to hard personal work to earn a living, they always make the indispensable expenses to present us in educational establishments, provide us with books and pay our teachers.
And how often we see these same parents willingly submit to all kinds of privations, to prevent the course of our studies from being interrupted!
Our education is over and we are now formed, at the cost of so many sleepless nights and sacrifices, but our parents do not abandon us. Their protective and beneficial shadow covers us throughout our lives, and their care, as we have already said, does not end until death. human heart.
