SUMMARY

1. There is only one God and we belong to him, first, because he made us for himself; and secondly because, when we sinned and left his keeping, his only Son Jesus Christ gave his life on the Cross to restore us to him again.

2. Therefore we must put God first in our lives before ourselves and before anyone or anything else; and in our daily prayers and at the Eucharist we should give ourselves to him gladly and completely so that we may truly his all and every day.
