Youcat commented through CCC – Question n. 372 – Part IV.
(Youcat
answer - repeated) God entrusted children to parents so that they might be
steady, righteous examples for those children, that they might love and respect
them and do everything possible so that their children can develop physically
and spiritually.
A deepening through CCC
(CCC 2227)
Children in turn contribute to the growth
in holiness of their parents (Cf. GS 48 § 4). Each and everyone should be
generous and tireless in forgiving one another for offenses, quarrels,
injustices, and neglect. Mutual affection suggests this. The charity of Christ
demands it (Cf. Mt 18:21-22; Lk 17:4).
Reflecting and meditating
(Youcat comment) Children are a gift from God and not the
property of the parents. Before they are their parents’ children, they are
God’s children. The primary duty of parents is to present to their children the
Good News and to communicate the Christian faith to them.
(CCC Comment)
(CCC 2228)
Parents' respect and affection are expressed by the care and attention they
devote to bringing up their young children and providing for their physical and spiritual needs. As the children
grow up, the same respect and devotion lead parents to educate them in the
right use of their reason and freedom.
