S1E73 - The 3rd Commandment: You MUST Take a Break! And Guess What...? It Will Be Fine!
09/04/23 • 41 min
Today, we read CCC, 2168 - 2195 and discuss the Third Commandment: Keep Holy the Sabbath. There are two dimensions to this commandment - resting from servile labor and going to church. Both actions are a "protest against the servitude of work and the worship of money." In obeying this commandment, we put aside our to-do lists for one day (Guess what? The list will still be there on Monday...), and we enjoy the beauty of creation as we deepen our relationship with God and others. Who doesn't want to take a mini-vacation each week?! Well, God commands it because He knows we need it and that it will make us happy - not just in the next life, but here and now.

S1E72 - The 2nd Commandment: "Jesus Christ!" ... Expletive or Beginning of Prayer?
Today, we read CCC, 2110 - 2167 and discuss the Second Commandment: "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain." The name of God - and the name of every person - is an icon of the greater reality... The name of God, the name of Jesus Christ, points to an all-holy being, and, so, to say the name cavalierly - or disrespectfully - is to degrade the being, the person, whom that name represents. On the other hand, to speak lovingly and admiringly of God is to love and admire God Himself.
