Catechism for Young Children · Question 1 of 145
Who made you?
A.God.
What does this answer mean?
The catechism starts with the first thing a child can know about himself: God made him. A three-year-old can say this answer, and it carries a great deal. A child belongs to the God who made him, and his life has a Maker who knows him. Many families begin here because the answer is one word long.
What can we ask our children?
- Who made you?
- What parts of you did God make? Your hands? Your eyes?
- If God made you, whom do you belong to?
