The noted author explained how most Catholics today have a superficial idea of what it means to honor one’s parents. “They think it means to obey them until you are 18 and be nice to them afterwards.”

However, honoring parents means much more than simple obedience. Children honor theirACC_1955_058_11 parents by doing those things that reflect back on them and thus make parents proud of them.

The Cincinnati event was excellently organized by Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Ashcraft who did a wonderful job of promoting the book in the area. For information on events, to request the author as a speaker or to purchase copies of the book, call (855) 861-8420 or visit www.ReturnToOrder.org.
