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.

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.
