Parents: Find Time for ‘Wasted’ Days

When Samuel Johnson was a young man, he was asked what was his happiest childhood memory.

‘I remember the day my father took me fishing,’ he said. ‘the two of us spent a whole day together.’

His father had kept a diary, and years later, when he died, someone looked up the entry for that day. ‘Took Samuel fishing,’ it said, ‘another wasted day.’

Do not be fooled by those who see you as just another consumer in a market of undifferentiated possibilities, where choice itself becomes the good, novelty usurps beauty, and subjective experience displaces truth. Christ offers more! Indeed he offers everything!
– Pope Benedict XVI, World Youth Day 2008
