I find it unlikely that a Catholic prelate (who, in his day, would have almost always worn either a simple cassock or, if anything more elaborate, only what would have been required by protocol and etiquette) would draw up rules for himself including to dress modestly. Also, the tone is strikingly similar to that of "Just for Today" by Pauline (Dear Abby) Phillips. Could we actually find out the provenance of this list?

James Misko's homily. Then I Googled around and found that Lisa had typed it up from the Magnificat <a HREF="http://unexpectedjourney-lisa.blogspot.com/2007/10/daily-decalogue-of-pope-john-xxiii.html" REL="nofollow" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br/><br/>So I guess the short answer is that it's from the Magnificat. :) You mentioned that you had to “look it up” — could you please cite your source for this?

John was a Pope -- a father in charge of a whole flock, so his job description was not too far from any parents. But the verb in the sentence is "claim". We should not "claim" to discipline or improve anyone besides ourselves.<br/><br/>It reminded me of what Jesus said about not proclaiming your fasting and sacrificing, because then you will already "have your reward." <br/><br/>To me, it also connected with what Jen said about focusing on purifying our own hearts. A lot of the disciplining of one's children comes from the task of making oneself into a better mother or father. <br/><br/>If I was a saint, my children would have a lot better chance of growing up well because my discipline for them would flow out of sanctity.
