Duties of Children

1910 New Catholic Dictionary

The Fourth Commandment God obliges us to honor our parents. This honor embraces respect, love, and obedience. Respect consists in manifesting heartfelt esteem, outwardly, by word and deed; love, in kind feelings and kind actons toward them in return for their love and for the benefits received from them; obedience in fulfilling all their lawful commands while under their authority. Children owe the same obligations to superiors who replace their parents.
