Friday 16th Week of Ordinary Time

 

The 10 commandments Ex. 20:1-17



The first 4 commandments are about our relationship with God.

Putting God first in our life ahead of other things and people.
Taking time for God by keeping the Lord’s Day.
Speaking well of God by reverencing His Holy Name.

And the last 6 are about our relationship with others.

First of all our parents and treating them with honor and respect.
Secondly our neighbor;
Not taking their life through murder;
Not taking taking their spouse through adultery;
Not taking their things through theft;
Not taking their reputation by lying about them;
Not desiring what we do not have.

The commandments are about our relationship with God and others.
And when we keep them,
We are in right relationship with God and one another.
And all is well in Heaven and on earth.
