Woe be to those who through their culpable neglect or carelessness allow children committed to them to mix with bad companions or to run into peril of sin. The Holy Angels are especially jealous over the innocence of the young. When we set a bad example to others, or rouse them to anger, or tempt them to sin, how little we think there is one by their side whose swift vengeance will fall on us, because we sought to lead into sin the client committed to his charge. Any one who gives scandal to those committed to their charge incurs their anger. The Holy Angels are also very jealous over the interest of their clients.
