Lesson 6: Our Father: The Last Four Petitions
The aim of this lesson is for your children to understand that after we have asked God to draw us to Him, we then pray the last four petitions of the Our Father for the needs of our life for both our body and our soul. As children, we ask in confidence and trust for our heavenly Father to care for us. We ask that God give us our daily needs, both physical and spiritual; we ask God to forgive our sins and to flood our hearts with forgiveness for others; we ask God for help in our battle against sin; and we ask for His defense against the evil one.

Lesson 3: Conscience: God's Law in Our Hearts
The aim of this lesson is for your children to understand that we have the freedom to choose between good and evil. God knows that choosing the good is not always easy for us. To help us, He gave us each a conscience, which is His law written in our hearts. A well-formed conscience makes it possible to live a moral life.

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.
