Sermons of the Curé D'Ars: You Will Answer for Their Souls

But, you will tell me, "we cannot always be following them around. We have other things to do."

As to that, my dear brethren, I will say nothing. All I know is that you will answer for their souls as much as for your own.
"But we do all we can."
I do not know whether you do all you can, but this much I do know: if your children incur damnation at home with you, you too will be damned. That much I know, and nothing else. You may go on saying "No" to that, saying I go too far. You will agree with it if you have not entirely lost your faith. That alone should suffice to cast you into a state of despair from which you could not emerge. But I know well that you will not take another step to fulfill any better your duties to your children. You are not at all disturbed, and you are almost right, for you will have plenty of time to torment yourselves during all eternity. We will pass on.
