Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the

son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to

pray for. We're learning and meditating on the Eighth Commandment, which calls us to have a love for and a commitment to the truth and never to act against it.

Yet many people think, it's not about truth. It's about being a good person, you know?

If you ask people what the fundamental obligation of all human life is, very few people would say seeking the truth.

It's amazing how many people think it doesn't matter what you know or what you believe.

All that matters is that you be a good person. And yet the

catechism states that seeking the truth is absolutely fundamental to human life.

It says, man tends by nature toward the truth. He is

obliged to honor and bear witness to it. It is in accordance with their dignity that all men, because they are persons, are both

impelled by their nature and bound by a moral obligation to seek the truth, especially religious truth.

They are also bound to adhere to the truth once they come to know it and direct their whole

lives in accordance with the demands of the truth. So pursuing the truth

is part of human nature, it's part of our dignity, It's something that nature and morality demand of us.

And everyone's whole life has to be organized around truth.

So the question is, how can the... has to be organized around truth.

So the question is, how can the truth be such a core obligation

of human life?

Our Father who art in heaven, hollow would be your name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead

us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art art thou among women blessed is a fruit of

thy womb Jesus holy Mary mother of God pre-frest sinners now and at the hour of our death
