Dear beloved parents,
The Scriptures are rich with examples which demonstrate the power of parental influence—both for good and bad. Reflect upon the following cases:
Concerning Abraham, God said:
For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him (Genesis 18:19). Abraham and Sarah had strong  influence upon Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, etc.
Joshua could confidently affirm: “[A]s for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah” (Joshuas 24:15). This great leader was not oblivious to the influence he exerted in his household.
Psalm 144:12 When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth, And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace.
Grant us, O Lord Jesus, to imitate faithfully the example of your Holy Family and to make our home another Nazareth. May peace, love and happiness prevail.
