Friar Lawrence is suggesting loving moderately, not with too much haste and passion not with too little interest and emotion. He says this to Romeo, he is parenting him and parenting him well however, his wise and rational reasoning with Romeo, later are over powered by his spineless and cowardly actions, leaving Juliet alone in the tomb.
Friar Lawrence fails Romeo and Juliet at their hour of greatest in the tomb. The Friar arrives but is to late save the lives of Paris and Romeo. He urges the awakened Juliet to escape with him when he tells her 'a greater power than we can contradict hath thwarted out intents'. Unable to persuade her to leave, the friar panics and runs away.

The two characters who are the most to blame are Lord Capulet and Friar Lawrence; Lord Capulet for his domineering, uncompromising and relentless personality and Friar Lawrence for his over ambitious plan which fails. It is these two characters that are combined which have the worst affect on Romeo and Juliet and regardless of how well intentioned or well meaning they were they never fulfilled their duties competently. However Friar Lawrence still showed best parental qualities.
