a) The children should know that by baptism, they were made sons of God. This they will know from their catechism classes. However it must be insisted on that this relationship to their heavenly Father and the great gift of grace received through baptism must be looked upon as the most important things in life and should be a source of great joy and strong motivation for doing good.

b) We owe to Christ the fact that we are sons of God for He freed us from sin and merited grace for us. We are brothers of Christ with Whom we must be joined in an intimate union of love. Love towards Christ is shown - by doing His will and by accepting gladly those little sacrifices which are involved in the observance of His will and in the general leading of a good life.

c) These sacrifices, united to the sacrifice of Christ, are the means by which we can pay honour to God, implore grace for ourselves and others, make satisfaction for our own sins and the sins of others, and cooperate in the spread of the Kingdom of Christ on earth.
