When was the last time you actually talked to your parents?

Dallin H Oaks April 1991 “Honour Thy Father Thy Mother”

The Savior re-emphasized the importance of the fifth commandment during his ministry. He reminded the scribes and Pharisees that we are commanded to honor our father and our mother and that God had directed that whoever cursed father or mother should be put to death. (See  Leviticus. 20:9  Deuteronomy. 21:18–21  Matthew. 15:4  Mark 7:10 In this day, failing to honor our parents is not a capital crime in any country of which I am aware. However, the divine direction to honor our father and our mother has never been revoked.
