I will nourish you, and your little ones."
It is not your duty to abstain from reading all the current literature of the day, but it is your duty to nourish your Catholic mental life by purely Catholic literature.

"You should be grateful to those who lodge and nourish you." "I am grateful, ma tante," said Jeanne patiently. Aunt Morin complained of being robbed on all sides.

If the purpose of marriage is the family, the person who wishes to have many wives or husbands may perhaps obtain much pleasure, but in that case will not have a family.
And now behold, if ye nourish it with much care it will get root, and grow up, and bring forth fruit.

And yet, so soon, into the woman's eyes had come the look of wistfulness, almost of prayer, as though she had suddenly come face to face with the knowledge that love, like a child, is man's to give and woman's to keep, to guard, to nourish, to suffer for, and, perhaps, last of all, to lose.
