Summary
Join us as we discuss the 5th Commandment, You shall not kill, and our calling to not only protect the lives of others but offer mercy and love instead.
-
Monday: On the feast of the guardian angels, we recall that each human as a special dignity, created in God's own image, and we are simply stewards of our lives.
-
Tuesday: Explore the miracle of your own life, remembering how God breathed life into the first person and how our blood is sacred.
-
Wednesday: On the feast of St. Francis, recall that even unrighteous anger is a sin. We are called instead to reject human wisdom and be fools like Francis, pursuing peace.
-
Thursday: On the feast of St. Faustina, we are reminded that we not only need to get go of anger, we need to be like God and offer mercy, not hatred.
-
Friday: On the feast of St. Bruno, we are reminded that we are called to be the defenders of the weakest and smallest, working for just laws that recognize the dignity of all.

| 0:30.0 | Hey there, sproutsouts. Today is Tuesday, October 3rd, 2023. This week we are talking about the Fifth Commandment, You Shall Not Kill. But before we get there, please join me in praying |
| 0:37.4 | come Holy Spirit, the prayer that Pope |
| 0:40.2 | John Paul II prayed every day of his life and challenges us to learn and pray this month. In the name |
| 0:48.4 | of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. Come Holy Spirit, Creator blessed, and in our souls take up |
| 0:58.6 | thy rest. Come with thy grace and heavenly aid to fill the hearts which thou hast made. |
| 1:07.6 | O comforter, to thee we cry, O heavenly gift of God most high, O fount of life and fire of love, and sweet anointing from above. Amen. |
| 1:23.0 | And so sprouts now filled with the gift of the Holy Spirit. Let's examine the great gift that is life. |
| 1:33.3 | So let's think back on the very beginning of the Bible. We know that God created the whole world, |
| 1:41.1 | from the light and the darkness to animals and plants to water and dry |
| 1:46.9 | land, but he also, at the end of this all, he created human beings. Now the story in Genesis |
| 1:55.2 | talks about him creating with his own hands human beings. And in the second story of creation, we hear that God |
| 2:04.4 | breathes his own breath into the first man. And that that is what life is. That with that |
| 2:15.9 | breath, that thing he has created becomes a human being, a living |
| 2:21.7 | human being. For a long time, our church, even way back into the Jewish faith, which we read |
| 2:29.3 | about in the Old Testament, has really valued breath. That the breath, and we all know that we need to continue |
| 2:36.2 | to breathe to be alive, but that breath inside of us is God's own breath, that there is this |
| 2:45.6 | holiness, this life that is God's inside of us through our breath. Now the other thing that we have |
| 2:55.2 | encountered with our own bodies, which scripture talks about as well, is blood. Blood has |
| 3:00.6 | oftentimes been a symbol for the living. And we also know that we can't live without blood, |
