What is the responsibility of the "little children"? It is not the responsibility of
the little children; rather, it is the responsibility of the Church! We are to
care for, nurture, and cleanse our children. As they grow up in that atmosphere,
they will mature in the faith and, in due time, take their place in caring for, nurturing, and
cleansing the little ones.

We must be careful not to give children responsibility too soon, or when
they are not ready for: "Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride..."

Good stuff!
