    The 4th

    Commandment:
    "HONOR YOUR
    FATHER AND
    YOUR MOTHER"
    "Honor your father and your
    mother"
      has a broader scope than its primary focus: the
    relationship between children and their parents.
    MEANING AND SCOPE OF THE 4TH
    COMMANDMENT:
    The fourth commandment is addressed expressly to children
    in their relationship with their parents. It also applies to ties
    of kinship with other members of one's extended family.
    Finally, it encompasses the duties of pupils to teachers, of
    subordinates to leaders, of citizens to their country, etc. This
    commandment also implies and presupposes the duties of
    parents and of anyone exercising authority over others (cf.
    Catechism 2199).
    T H E FA M I LY
    The fourth commandment refers primarily to the relationship
    within the family between parents and children.“In creating
    man and woman, God instituted the human family and
    endowed it with its fundamental constitution" (Catechism
    2203)
    “A man and a woman united in marriage, together with their
    children, form a family"
    The Christian family is a communion of
    persons, a sign and image of the communion of
    the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit
    DUTIES OF CHILDREN TO
    T H E I R PA R E N T S
    Children have to respect and honor their parents,
    trying to give them joy, praying for them and
    appreciating their sacrifice. Every good Christian
    should find these duties a “most sweet" precept.
    D U T I E S O F PA R E N T S
    Parents have the duty to receive the children God sends
    them gratefully, as a real blessing and sign of confidence.
    Besides caring for their material needs, they have the
    serious responsibility of giving them a solid human and
    Christian education.
    The fourth commandment illuminates other relationships in society. In
    our brothers and sisters we see the children of our parents; in our cousins,
    the descendants of our ancestors; in our fellow citizens, the children of
    our country; in the baptized, the children of our mother the Church; in
    every human person, a son or daughter of the One who wants to be called
    ‘our Father.’ In this way our relationships with our neighbors are
    recognized as personal in character. The neighbor is not a ‘unit’ in the
    human collective; he is ‘someone’ who by his known origins deserves
    particular attention and respect.
    Honor your father and your
    mother" (Ex 20:12, Deut 5:16).

    God promises a reward: "long


    life in the land your God gives
    you" (Ex 20:12).

    Honoring authority does result in peace


    and prosperity. Failure to obey harms the
    family and community.
    F . A . M . I . L . Y
    is one of the strongest words anyone can say
    because the letters of family means "Father And
    Mother I Love You"
    YOUR PARENTS MAY NOT BE
    PERFECT BUT THEY ARE THE
    MOST PRECIOUS GIFT GOD HAS
    EVER GIVEN YOU
