Every parent desires to raise a child who is wise, faithful, and virtuous. But according to Catholic teaching, every virtue begins with one foundation: obedience.
In this Short, discover why Our Lord Jesus Christ, though the eternal Son of God, freely obeyed Mary and Saint Joseph at Nazareth, and why the Church has always taught that obedience forms the heart for holiness.
Drawing from Sacred Scripture, the Baltimore Catechism, the Roman Catechism, and traditional Catholic teaching, this catechetical reflection explains why rightful obedience is not weakness, but the beginning of virtue.
“And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them.” — Luke 2:51 (Douay-Rheims)
