One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, Scriptural Rosary for Children by popular author Rev. Lawrence G. Lovasik, teaches children about the Seven Precepts of the Catholic Church, which are
guidelines that help Catholics live their faith and grow closer to God. They remind us of basic actions to strengthen our relationship with God and the Church. Here is a simple way to understand each one:
- Attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days: This means going to church every Sunday and on special feast days to worship God with the community.
- Confess Sins at Least Once a Year: Catholics should go to confession at least once a year. This sacrament helps us seek forgiveness and grow spiritually.
- Receive Holy Communion at Least Once During the Easter Season: Receiving Communion, especially during the Easter season, unites us with Jesus in a special way.
- Observe Days of Fasting and Abstinence: On certain days, such as Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, Catholics fast and avoid meat to remember Jesus' sacrifice.
- Provide for the Church's Needs: Catholics are encouraged to help their church with donations or by volunteering to support its mission.
- Observe Church Marriage Laws: Catholics should follow Church teachings about marriage to honor God's plan for families.
- Participate in the Church's Mission: This means sharing our faith with others and helping those in need.
These precepts guide Catholics in being faithful, loving, and active members of the Church.
Additional information about the seven Precepts of the Church include:- To remember that Sunday, the day of the Lord's Resurrection, is holy, and that we should take part in Mass every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation and avoid unnecessary work
- To receive Holy Communion frequently and the Sacrament of Penance regularly
- To study Catholic teaching to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation, to be confirmed, and then to continue to study our holy Faith and help others to know about it
- To observe the marriage laws of the Church: to give religious training (by example and word) to one's children; to use parish schools and religious education programs
- To strengthen and support the Church, which includes the parish and parish priests, the worldwide Church, and the Holy Father
- To do penance, including abstaining from meat and fasting from food on certain days
- To join in the missionary spirit and apostolate of the Church
