CL 405
Spiritual parents love their children
for their spiritual intelligence and moral life,
loving them thus for their fear of God
and for their piety of conduct or life,
and at the same time
for their affection for and application to
useful endeavors of service to society,
thus for the virtues and good habits in them.
Out of a love for these traits principally
do they provide for and supply their needs.
Consequently, if they do not see such traits in them,
they estrange their heart from them
and only out of duty do anything for them.
