The Sixth Commandment

The Sixth Commandment
Luke 15: 1-32
Philosopher Freud considered pleasure as a motive for human action. This is all his supporters. They claim that, in fact, physical desires condition our behavior. Pleasure as an incentive to act suspiciously resembles the first offer presented by the devil The Lord Jesus: at this first temptation to enjoy the loaves of stone our Lord refused let yourself be guided through the body’s body. Building on the thematic sermons of the past year, we have the precepts in front of us. Commando will not make a mockery!” Forbids physical extramarital union and nurture personal and real human sexuality. Irresponsible attitudes to life can easily be ruined and later only difficult to repair the severe damage caused by the miserable life of our youth. Catechism recalls learning II. Vatican Council: “The dignity of man requires … to act according to conscistil and free choice, that is, driven and guided by personal beliefs and not under influence blind inner impulse or purely external coercion. This dignity man acquires when he frees himself from any captivity of passion and pursues his goal free the choice of goodness, while procuring appropriate means in an efficient and inventive manner. (CCC2339) “
The Lord Jesus teaches us that anyone who looks at a woman with a sinful desire has already committed adultery with her. Not so the sin is only the physical extramarital connection, but the lust if we agree with the unsettled longing for sexual pleasure. This pleasure is morally not established if it is sought for it itself separate from its goals of conceiving and union, which are intrinsic to marital love. Sexuality is like atomic energy has its realization in marriage. One has to avoid searching sexual pleasure outside the context of marriage. St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians and also to us, the admonition: “Be not mistaken, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men, nor adulterers of men … will not be the heirs of the kingdom of God. “It is a grave sin in the forbidden area of ​​sexuality. Surely the Lord God does not want to take us pleasure and joy. Lies just as the manufacturer gives the product instructions for use, even the Lord God as the Creator gives us instructions for a happy life and so ours happiness also guarantees. He gives us his law, which we know in our conscience. Intimate human love has your place in God’s plan. A sexual act that can be a gift and a sanctification in marriage, is hurting and sinning against God outside of marriage. So fornication is in disagreement with the instructions of happiness, the truth even more adultery, which more breaks sacred the bond of marriage destroys what God has united. In the marriage act there is immoral contraception as they separate the two meanings of the matrimonial act: the connective and the prolific. Then there is also temptation to sexual self-satisfaction – masturbation. We also know about the lure lurking everywhere pornography. Sometimes it also makes rape, which brings harm to the most difficult character. In Scripture, we have two diametrically different biblical stories: in the Book of Genesis it is Joseph An Egyptian who can withstand the temptation of Pharaoh’s wife at the cost of imprisonment and vice versa in the Book of Judges Samson, who can be fooled by seductive girlfriend Dalila. In the history of the Church since Saint Agnesa -one of the first Roman martyrs to Mary Goretti – the saint of today, to maintain cleanliness. But even one who has fallen may still be holy. Augustine of Carthage lived an embarrassing and scandalous life. The words of the Scripture: “Don’t live anymore in revelry, fornication, and drunkenness,as pagans …! ” changed him completely and became a virtuous giant of faith, Saint Augustine. Someone publicly asked a provocative question: “Why does the Church care about how we live ?!”
its hierarchical leaders and all its members may fall, the Church does not hesitate to preach the gospel even in this area of ​​life, that God’s grace is stronger than human weakness. The priest is also from the body and blood and so can fall; but whether it is not worth taking a good example from the consecrated the lives of so many consecrated men and women who live restrained ?!
