"…the Order of the Child was founded by Mark Prophet in 1951. It was a sacred order for legislators, rulers, directors or culture and citizens who would promise to be, 'ever-mindful of the little child of the future.' Members of this order pledge to devote one minute per day in reading a few words inscribed on the certificate of membership."

"Also included in this order [of Francis and Clare] is the Order of the Holy Child, loved by Jesus, brought forth by Lanello…This Order of the Holy Child is the defense of the child in all of the seven rays: the protection of the child, the education of the child, the teaching of the child what is love, giving and receiving. It is a path of purity that is the clarity in the heart to pursue the goal of Life. It is a teaching of science and health and abundance, the teaching and the training of the child of the heart-your heart and other children-in the path of service, the path of freedom and the holy orders. All of these things become a part of our Word and our Work."
