0:00.0	You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.
0:28.1	Hey there, sprouts. Welcome back. This week we are talking about the Eighth Commandment, which commands us to be truthful to avoid falsehood and lies. We've already talked about the
0:33.6	fact that there is truth. Jesus Christ himself is that truth. And yesterday we talked about
0:40.0	the effects of lies, how lies destroy trust and therefore destroy relationships. Now today we are
0:48.1	going to talk about what it means to speak the truth and also situations where we aren't called to not be truthful, but we do have
0:58.6	an obligation perhaps to not share every tiny little thing. So first of all, what does it mean
1:06.4	to speak the truth? To speak the truth means that we know the truth and even though we might be
1:13.9	afraid, even though there might be consequences, we refuse to make up a lie. We refuse to do that.
1:23.5	We know that lies will always have consequences.
1:35.6	Sometimes the better option is to simply not speak at all if we are tempted to say something that is untrue.
1:47.9	And also, if you find yourself tempted to tell stories or to exaggerate, I know that this is a temptation for me and was particularly hard when I was a child. I encourage you to spend more time listening. Before you jump in with that big, fantastic story
1:56.7	that's only 50% true, spend time listening. And believe me when I tell you this, you are an
2:05.6	interesting, wonderful person without exaggerating anything. The stories that have happened to you are
2:13.9	worth telling and worth hearing without adding details that aren't true. So really believe
2:22.1	this. You are good and wonderful all on your own without exaggeration. Pause and remember that
2:32.0	before you launch into your next story that isn't quite 100% true.
2:37.9	Now, we've talked a lot about being truthful, but there are situations when we don't have to
2:43.3	share everything. For example, if you are in a situation where a good friend has gotten
2:49.8	a really bad haircut, they come up to you and
2:53.9	they demand what you think of it. Yes, if they really, really do want your opinion, yes,
3:00.3	you should tell them. But I encourage you to be governed by this rule also.
3:09.0	The golden rule.
