Title: Third Order Members, Their Families and Vocation

By Br. Lawrence Mary, M.I.C.M., Tert.

This talk is a practical guide for traditional Catholic families on fostering vocations in their children. He emphasizes the critical importance of "balance," or prudence, in living a devout life without falling into extremism or neglecting familial duties. Drawing from his own family's journey from being "pagans" to devout Catholics, he stresses that the consistent, unwavering example of parents is paramount in a child's formation. Brother Lawrence also warns against various "fads" and distractions within the traditionalist movement, urging a focus on core principles like the dogma "extra ecclesiam nulla salus." Ultimately, the talk is a call for third-order members to be loyal, docile, and dedicated crusaders for the faith, recognizing their role as leaders whose actions, especially within the family, are a powerful witness in a hostile world.
