Summary
“You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.” Taking a look at the first commandment, we see how we are called to love and worship God above all else. The Catechism also lists the ways in which we may potentially fall into sins against faith, hope, and charity. Fr. Mike elaborates on these violations and reminds us that while it may seem overwhelming, God loved us first, and we must trust in him. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2083-2094.
This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

| 0:50.9 | long-promised paragraphs 2083 to 2094, we're beginning the Ten Commandments. We've had so much |
| 0:58.1 | prep work. We had so much stuff to talk about to get us ready to look at the Decalogue, to get us |
| 1:03.2 | to look at the Commandments. Remember, everything we're going to talk about today and for the next |

| 1:14.0 | piece of what we're going to talk about for the next number of, well, actually, well, is this a shock, |
| 1:18.7 | right? A whole Catechism. I think for the last 272 days, it has had everything to do with the Lord |
| 1:23.9 | in our relationship with him. But keep it this in mind. You and I are made for and called to |
| 1:30.6 | the heights of holiness that you and I have have been brought into a relationship with our Heavenly |
