According to the CCC 2226, what mission do parents have?

  1. To financially support their children

  2. To teach their children to pray and discover their vocation as children of God

  3. To prepare their children for college

  4. To provide extracurricular activities

The correct answer is: To teach their children to pray and discover their vocation as children of God

The correct choice highlights the crucial role parents play in the spiritual development of their children. According to CCC 2226, parents have the responsibility to guide their children in prayer and help them understand their vocation as children of God. This mission encompasses not only nurturing a child's spirituality but also fostering a sense of identity and purpose aligned with faith. While the other options touch on aspects of responsibility that parents may have, such as financial support, education, and extracurricular involvement, they do not emphasize the inherent spiritual and vocational guidance that is articulated in the Catechism. Thus, the emphasis on teaching children to pray and understand their relationship with God is a fundamental aspect of parental duty according to this teaching.
