Summary

Gratitude is the proper response of children toward their parents. Out of this gratitude comes respect. When we are children at home, this respect includes “true docility and obedience.” Fr. Mike emphasizes respect for parents doesn’t expire when we leave home as adults. Grown children are responsible for caring for and supporting their parents in their old age. As Fr. Mike stresses, this can be the simple but often overlooked phone call to mom or dad. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2214-2220.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Catechism in the Year Podcast,
0:09.2	where we encounter God's plan of sheer goodness for us, revealed in Scripture and passed
0:12.9	down through the tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in the Year is brought to
0:16.2	by Ascension. In 365 days, we'll read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church discovering
0:21.4	our identity and God's family as we journey together toward our Heavenly Home. This is day 287.
0:26.0	We are reading paragraphs 2214 to 2220, which is a fun number. I don't know why, but it's fun 2220.
0:32.8	As always, I am using the Ascension edition of the Catechism, which includes the foundations of
0:36.9	faith approach, but you can follow along with any recent version of the Catechism of the Catholic
0:40.4	Church. You can also download your own Catechism in a year-reading plan by visiting AscensionPress.com

0:54.2	and the ways in which the family is not only just essential, but how do we live in the family?
0:59.6	And so tomorrow we'll talk about the duties of parents toward their children, but today we're
1:03.9	talking paragraph 20 to 14 to 2220, but the duties of children. We said this many times. We will
1:09.4	continue to set, we belong to each other. And in almost, in very rare exceptions, the most
1:17.1	critical place, the original place where we belong to each other is in the family. And so every
1:21.9	child has a mom and a dad somewhere. And so what are the duties of children to their parents,
1:27.6	particularly when it comes to this Fourth Commandment? We're looking at that today, and it's just
1:31.3	really remarkable because it's not just about children to their parents, but also grown children,
1:36.4	adult children to their parents. What do we talk about when we're talking about that? What do we
1:40.7	need to pay attention to when we're paying attention to that? So as we launch into paragraph 22,
