117 1 minute read

The forth commandment says “Honour your father and your mother.” It is the only commandment that has a promise attached to it, and the promise is “that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God gives you.” The 4th commandment commands us to:

Love, honour, respect and obey our parents. We must not take them for granted.
Even in their old age, when they can become a bit of a challenge, we must still love, honor and respect them.
We must play our part in the home by helping with chores and not leave it all up to our parents.

This commandment also dictates –

The duties of children towards each other and towards their parent,
The duties of parents towards each other and towards their children; for example, the primary role of a parent is to lead their children to God
The responsibilities each of us have towards the wider community
Respect for those in authority.

CCC : 2197 – 2257
