Teaching "Without Guidelines Or Rules There Would Be No Order to Our Lives..." 11-17-81

This Teaching says,
"We should always be totally aware that it
was God Who gave us the Ten Commandments. Through
these Ten Commandments we have been given a code
for life, the moral ethics and conditions that will keep
us in a civilized society, and they will guide our lives
to the Goal God intended for us."

"Without Guidelines Or Rules There Would
Be No Order To Our Lives - We Would
Be Victimized Hourly By A Barbaric
Society."

"We should always be totally aware that it
was God Who gave us the Ten Commandments. Through
these Ten Commandments we have been given a code
for life, the moral ethics and conditions that will keep
us in a civilized society, and they will guide our lives
to the Goal God intended for us."

I.      I Am The Lord Thy God, Thou Shalt Not
Have strange gods Before Me.

"There is a mistaken idea that children
do not sin as often as adults. This, of course,
is a blind man's view of seeing.

First, ask yourself which Commandment
God is offended by most often. Of course,
this is the First One because any offense
against any One of His Commandments is an
offense against Him. Never let any man or
woman tell you that you have not sinned
against God's First Commandment."


VIII.  Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against
Thy Neighbor.

"The Eighth Commandment is abused by
all ages through lies, jealousy, competition,
envy, injustice, and/or pettiness. It is sad to
know that many people abuse this Eighth
Commandment voluntarily and without regret.
Gossip, slander, unkindness, many times is the
basis for serious sins against this
Commandment. The very young can sin much
against this Commandment when they make
untrue, unkind statements scandalizing the
name of someone.

Lies about someone's character, what
someone has done or supposed to have done,
are numerous. Even just agreeing with the
wrong about someone can make one a party
to the wrong committed. Adults also,
sometimes feel justified in repeating untruths
that they hear about public figures, neighbors
and friends, even some of their own family.

Many sins against this Commandment are
repetitive and lack honor, dignity and
respect."


X.    Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's
Goods.

"God's Tenth Commandment is in
constant misuse by all ages. So many people
omit the responsibility of this Commandment
by justifying everything they do in offending
God in this Commandment.

'False justification' for offenses against
this Commandment are many. Borrowing and
not returning. Confiscating another person's
belongings without the permission of the other
person. Deliberately keeping what belongs to
someone else. Blackmailing to gain what
belongs to another.

Sometimes sins against this
Commandment are considered so petty, so
humanistic, so natural that it becomes a habit,
and eventually is not considered wrong. Logic
says that this Commandment has more
meaning, more definition than the words
appear to have. First of all, taking anything
from God wrongly would be a grievous sin,
such as the love for God of another person,
the will, the spirit to live, the spirit of
enthusiasm, the spirit of motivation, the spirit
of charity; also, possessing a person through
the use of another person's belongings.

One of the greatest stories of time was
about Robin Hood, who justified his stealing
because of the purpose he used. What we
must remember is that when we look at this
Commandment we must not excuse ourselves
from the responsibility of it and justify our
abuses to it by the reasons we conjure up to
eliminate our guilt."


VI.    Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery.

"The first thing that comes to one's
mind is cheating, prostitution, or illicit
relations out of wedlock. This Commandment
is abrasive to God in many ways because it
includes more acts as sins than people like
to recognize as sins.

Abusiveness to the flesh and the senses
are improper and eliminate pure thinking
towards one's body and Soul. Children
sometimes misuse the body through curiosity,
but then abuse the body because of little
regard for the dignity of the human body.

This Commandment must be recognized
for the purpose with which God gave it. He
wants all men and women to see the ultimate
creation of His, mankind, in a manner of
dignity, purpose, and for an Ultimate Goal."


II.     Thou Shalt Not Take The Name Of The
Lord Thy God In Vain.

"Foul language voiced at any age is
against this Commandment. When children or
adults feel angry or want attention, and act
in a vulgar way, they succumb to expressive
measures displaying undignified terminology
that bespeaks only belittling insults to someone
else, using God's Name to give the statement
or words notice or strength. It is a bad habit
for anyone. It is sinful, and it is more than
a lack of respect, it is a grievous matter and
it is sacrilegious."


V.    Thou Shalt Not Kill.

"All ages commit sins against this Fifth
Commandment of God's. Children do it at
a very young age by their selfishness,
meanness, lack of cooperation, disobedience.
How? In many ways. Children, in pitting
one parent against the other to get their own
way, many times cause deep wounds because
of arguments that ensue, unhappiness that kills
the healthy atmosphere of a home, kills the
dignity of family life, and kills the enthusiasm
of some in the family. Sometimes children
become so sadistic to get their way that their
own unhappiness thrives on others being
unhappy.

Some people think that to sin against this
Fifth Commandment is only killing physically
another human being. This too is against this
Commandment because only God has the right
to decide when the life of a human being
should end.

When you confess your sins, you will
know if you have been nasty, catty or abusive
enough to cause hurts with your family or
other people. You will know if your
selfishness destroyed others' feelings of
tranquillity and peace. Sometimes people are
so vicious, so hateful, so dissatisfied, so
insecure, never happy, that they are always
trying to get others to side with them, not
caring how many other people get hurt.

'Thou shalt not kill'. If you will notice,
as this Commandment came down to us, it
was not descriptive in its entirety. Wisdom
tells us there are many forms of killing;
brainwashing is one."


III.   Remember Keep Holy The Sabbath Day.

"How many times have you attended
Mass on Sunday with your body only, and
your mind wandering? You really did not feel
like being there, or you were so distracted
by others, or some one person, that your being
in the Presence of God was more offensive
to God than if you had not been there. Your
feelings to stay away does not justify your
staying home or going someplace else, but you
must recognize that your failure to a proper
response in the House of God is sinful.

In this Commandment, 'Remember keep
Holy the Sabbath Day', He did not say, 'Stand
in front of Me so I can enjoy your presence,
your glorious beauty.' There was a special
purpose behind this Commandment and it was
for the good of each one's Soul. Also, it
was so that man would always stay close to
God, so he always would remember Who God
Is.

'Remember keep Holy the Sabbath
Day'. The key to your properly attending
Holy Mass is the one word, Holy."


VII.   Thou Shalt Not Steal.

"The Seventh Commandment is also
abused by all ages. In saying, 'Thou shalt
not steal', certainly does not refer to only big
sums of money taken at gunpoint. Stealing
sometimes begins at a very early age, and is
sometimes taken for granted that it is a natural
chain of events. This is not so.

Also, stealing is varied in its whole
concept. It is taking what belongs to someone
else. This covers monetary things, talent,
credit, prestige, popularity, promotions at
work, achievements, abilities, attentions, the
good name of someone, the good reputation
of someone, the enthusiasm of someone, the
ideas of someone, the happiness of someone,
the scholastic achievements of someone, the
integrity, the dignity, the standards, the values,
through envy, jealousy, possessiveness,
disobedience, evil suggestive thinking, false
justification of unkindness, and any other weak
excuse that might come up. 'Thou shalt not
steal', so concise and yet covers every facet
of life."


IX.    Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Wife.

"The Ninth Commandment seems so pat
and yet this Commandment is not limited to
an older person becoming involved with the
spouse of another human being. It involves
many phases and facets of human life.
Sometimes youngsters, in vying for attention,
use anyone they can use to help themselves
feel attractive. They crave attention so
desperately, never looking at the consequences,
but they become involved in all sorts of
trickery so they can feel attractive.

Adults also play games similar to this,
and of course, with adults it is only an
advanced stage of vanity or ego, ignoring the
responsibility of 'suppressing' one's
selfishness, because it is the right thing to
do.

Sins against the Ninth Commandment,
'Thou shalt not covet they neighbor's spouse',
have been a great source of abuse to God,
because of the self-love that encourages sins
against this Commandment."


IV.   Honor Thy Father And Thy Mother.

"The Fourth Commandment, 'Honor thy
Father and thy Mother', of course, means first
our Heavenly Parents and then our earthly
parents, and this Commandment is oftentimes
abused with little care as to the grievousness
of sins against this Commandment. It is a
Commandment that covers so much area of
our life, for through the dignity of always
honoring and respecting our Heavenly Parents,
and our earthly parents, we can find the
beauty in responsibility dignified, and in this
dignity we can find respect for all the other
Commandments, for this Commandment also
covers sound authority and sound leadership."
