Unit 5: Love of Neighbor
- 4th Commandment (Honor Your Father and Mother): Focuses on relationships with others, emphasizing respect for family members in vulnerable communities. This commandment reflects the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). Honoring is shown through respect, gratitude, and just action. Families teach theological virtues like prayer and love. Civil authorities must protect family rights. Children should respect parents and seek advice, while parents should respect children's dignity and provide guidance.
