God's third commandment: 'I am the Lord your God: observe Sunday, do not work, but serve God'. The second commandment of the Church: 'Attend mass or worship on Sundays and holy days consecrated by the Church, unless there is an important reason'. God calls the baptised on Sundays to pray.  Catechesis on Sunday observance, in collaboration with Fr Wagner Randriamampandry.

There are several reasons that discourage Christians from going to church on Sunday: The teaching and homily may not be clear or convincing; it may be the reasons of the leaders (behaviour); it may be the excessive greed of some church leaders.  Catechesis on Sunday observance, in collaboration with Fr Wagner Randriamampandry.

Sunday observance is not optional for baptised Christians because it is God's commandment. What is called a wise child is his or her ability to carry out the commands and will of his or her parents.

The difference between "Commandment and Choice": A commandment cannot be chosen but must be done. A choice expresses something that can be done or not done but depends entirely on the will. The difference between command and choice is the result. The baptised Christian compromises his choice and will but seeks and does the will of God.
