Summary
It's week two of our series on the 10 Commandments! This week we will be discussing, YOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD YOUR GOD IN VAIN.
-
Monday: God shared His name with us through Moses at the burning bush and through the Incarnation. Why is this such a HUGE deal?
-
Tuesday: Fear of the Lord, a gift of the Holy Spirit, allows us to obey the 2nd Commandment. What is Fear of the Lord and how is it NOT contrary to love?
-
Wednesday: On the Feast of St. John Chrysostom, we discuss the power of our words and how we need to strive to never commit blasphemy or make a casual promise in Jesus's Name.
-
Thursday: On the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross we explore the power of Jesus's name, which in itself is a powerful prayer.
-
Friday: Finally, what about our names as Christians, people who have been Baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?
We are excited to announce the launch of our Eucharistic Revival Study for Families: Encountering the Heart of Jesus! This is a powerful study for the Whole Family! Books are on sale now.

| 0:22.3 | Hey there, Spouts. |
| 0:23.9 | Today is Wednesday, September 13th, 2020. |
| 0:28.3 | Today is also the feast day of St. John Christendom. |
| 0:33.0 | St. John Christendom lived in the 300th. |
| 0:36.7 | He became the patriarch, or sometimes called the |
| 0:41.4 | bishop of Constantinople, a very important city in the early church. And his last name actually |
| 0:47.9 | was not Christendom. Christendom is a nickname that he was given, and it means golden-mouthed. Golden-mouthed. |
| 0:57.0 | Because St. John Christendom, he was a very holy man. He loved the poor. He lived a very holy life. |
| 1:03.8 | But what we remember him foremost today is his preaching. He was an incredible preacher. |
| 1:13.8 | And he could oftentimes change the hearts of an entire community through one homily. He preached about immoral entertainment. He preached about |
| 1:21.0 | the obligation of the rich to take care of the poor. and he also fought heretics. |
| 1:31.1 | A heretic is someone who is spreading a false teaching, |
| 1:35.6 | and St. John Christendom was not afraid to take them on, |
| 1:37.5 | especially with his preaching. |
| 1:42.1 | So today, as we continue to talk about the Second Commandment, |
| 1:45.3 | we are going to be reminded through the example of St. John Christendom just how powerful the words that we say are, how the words we say can either |
| 1:54.6 | work for Jesus or they can tear down Jesus. And we should take such bold responsibility for the words that we say. |
| 2:05.0 | But before we dive into that, please join me in praying the fragrance prayer. |
| 2:10.6 | In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. |
