S: Your wife like a fruitful vine in the heart of your house; Your children like shoots of the olive around your table. / O blessed are those...

- 1 Timothy 5: 3-8: Give proper recognition to widows who are left alone. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. The widow who is all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help. But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives. Give the people the instructions, too, so that no one may be open to blame. If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
