For our summer catechesis, we are studying the Table of Duties from the Small Catechism. This week we consider our station and vocation as children. I recommend you listen here: 2013-08-18 Catechesis – To Children
The Catechism: Table of Duties—To Children: Ephesians 6:1-3
| 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. | 1st+ |
| 2 “Honor your father and mother” – which is the first commandment with a promise – 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” (Ephesians 6:1-3) | 2nd+ |
Prayer for Children
Heavenly Father, grant Your grace in Christ to all Christian children that they might honor their parents in spite of their failings, and enjoy a long and blessed life according to Your will; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
