In today's world of constant social media comparisons, the wisdom of the Tenth Commandment is more relevant than ever. God’s commandment against coveting warns us not to let our desires get out of hand and negatively affect our relationships with others.
In this video, we dive deep into the meaning of coveting, exploring how social media can tempt us to envy our neighbor's goods and how this can lead to sadness and sin. We'll discuss the Catechism's teaching on envy, coveting, and how these temptations have been present since the beginning of time.
But there’s hope! God’s grace and the antidote of charity, goodwill, and humility can help us overcome these struggles. We'll also introduce you to the Litany of Humility, a prayer that has helped many find peace and freedom from the temptations of envy.
Join us as we explore how to follow God's commandments in a world filled with distractions and temptations. Discover how living with humility, generosity, and love can bring you abundant joy and a deeper relationship with Jesus.
