Summary

What does covetousness mean? Today, we launch into the ninth commandment, which deals with carnal concupiscence. This commandment addresses the tension between the “flesh” and the “spirit.” Fr. Mike emphasizes that purity of heart and temperance are crucial to overcoming lust of the flesh. The more we obey God, the more our hearts see others as God sees them. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2514-2519.

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.

1:14.6	Here in Exodus chapter 20 for 17, it says, you shall not covet your neighbor's house.
1:18.6	You shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his man servant or his maid servant or his ox or his ass or anything that is your neighbors.
