St. Monica prayed with perseverance and hope for the conversion of her sonâwho eventually became not only baptized Catholic, but also a priest, a bishop and a saint, now known as St. Augustine. Hope in God, love for God, adoration, worship and fidelity are all attitudes included in the First Commandment. In this episode I look at some of the sins against the First Commandment like presumption, despair, indifference, lukewarmness, occultism and hatred of God among others.

The Commandments (or the Decalogue) were given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 24). We can read about this in the book of Exodus and Deuteronomy. They must be understood within the context of Godâs Covenant with Man. God gives us the gift of his Commandments not as a burden or a limitation, but to guide us to eternal life, to show us the easiest way to Heaven.

During the Sacred Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, we could identify different ways in which people offended God. We have Judas, who was instrumental in capturing our Lord; St. Peter who denied Jesus three times; some of the Pharisees and the leaders of the Sanhedrin; there was Pilate himself, who could have released Christ. And finally, there were the Roman soldiers. They were the ones who actually nailed Christ to the Cross. There were sins of word, deed, omission and thought. We will discuss these different types of sins in today's episode.

When thereâs a car accident, your vehicle can be dented or scraped, or it could be totaled. Something similar happens with sin. Sin can be venial or mortal. And these two are essentially different degrees of sin. Through mortal sin we lose the state of Grace, and if we die unrepented and with that mortal sin in our soul, we cannot enter Heaven. This is what we will address in todayâs episode. Listening and applying the content of this episode can make an eternal difference in your life.

Evil is an undeniable reality in our world. But the worst evil is that of SIN. Through sin we deliberately break the law of God, offend our Creator, and hurt our neighbor and ourselves. But the Mercy of God is greater than our sin, and with the grace won by Jesus Christ we can overcome sin in our lives!
