Lesson 4

We Must Avoid Sin and Grow in Holiness

In this lesson your children will learn that sanctifying grace is God’s very life in our soul. Mortal sin destroys that life and leads to the death of the soul. But God in His mercy gives us countless opportunities to turn back onto the path of life. Children will also learn that the Church gives us five precepts or laws that show us the very minimum required to develop our spiritual lives and grow in love of God and of neighbor.
