Summary
It's the final week of our 10 Commandment study! Yay! We wrap things up this week looking at the intentions of our hearts concerning physical objects.
-
Monday: It's not enough to just not steal. We must also examine how we feel about the objects in our lives.
-
Tuesday: Greed is one of the 7 deadly sins, and something we all experience.
-
Wednesday: The Commandment also addresses envy, the killer of friendship and love.
-
Thursday: It's okay to own things and even want them, but we must cultivate a spirit of detachment.
-
Friday: Finally, as with all things, we must stop and examine the desires of our hearts. Do we desire something more than Jesus?

| 0:29.3 | Hey there, sprouts. Today is Monday, November 13th, 2020. Today is also the feast day of St. Francis Xavier Cabrini. Now, St. Francis Xavier Cabrini was born in Italy in 1850. She died in 1917. However, she is the first |
| 0:42.6 | American citizen to be canonized a saint. So here's her story. She was born to a big family, |
| 0:50.8 | and from a very young age, she wanted to be a missionary. However, she wanted to be a |
| 0:56.3 | missionary to Asia. So she tried to join various communities. First, she wasn't allowed to because |
| 1:03.8 | her parents needed her to work. And then she wasn't accepted because of her health. However, |
| 1:09.3 | she was a tenacious woman. |
| 1:11.9 | Eventually, she founded her own order and began to make plans to go to China. |

| 1:37.1 | At the time, there were many Italian immigrants living in New York City who were desperately |
| 1:43.7 | in need of schools and orphanages and |
| 1:46.6 | hospitals. Well, when the Pope tells you to do something, you do it. And so with six other |
| 1:52.8 | sisters, Mother Cabrini set sail for the United States. After an excruciating journey, |
| 1:58.4 | she arrived only to find that they were homeless. |
