I am unsure how to approach this. My name is Faith. I am twenty-six. I was raised in England, but my father always said that it was a Godless land with no real church and so I have never seen much outside of my family home and now my husband's home. I was schooled at home, to preserve my faith and purity until I was sixteen and old enough to join with my wonderful, God-fearing husband, Henry. We have two young boys, Samuel and Isaac, who are growing up as good Christians and because my dear husband works so hard to provide for us, he leaves careful instructions with me on how they are to be educated each day. However, I have always upheld my oath to be silent unless directly addressed by a man and am finding it difficult now to speak to our sons, especially knowing that in a few short years, they will far surpass me in intelligence and authority. My husband has suggested that I seek guidance from such noble and true people as yourselves. How do I follow my husband's instructions to teach my sons, whilst respecting that they are superior to me? Please help.
Yours in service of our Holy Father,
Faith
