A Lesson for Children

Fr. Paul MilanowskiFather Paul A. Milanowski

(from Father Paul's First Communion Prayer Book)

Your parents take the place of God in your life.
They brought you into this world.
They clothe you. They feed you. They work for you.
They suffer for you, and they would willingly die for you.

Respect them. Love them. Obey them.
That is pleasing to God.
Never speak unkindly to them.
Never refuse to obey them.
If you listen to them, and do all they ask of you,
God will bless you and reward you.

Many children think it smart to talk back to their parents,
despise them, laugh at them and disobey them.
Such children are very foolish and ignorant.
Your parents are your very best gift on earth.
You can always trust the love of your mother and father.
They are far wiser than you are.

Be grateful to them. Do not grieve them.
Do not cause them any worry or anxiety.
If your are good to your parents,
God will bless you - and them.

Every day of your life pray for them.
