The tenth commandment

The tenth commandment
John 8, 1-11
We do not even have to come to the tenth commandment to know that we are guilty. But it’s not a tragedy. Our diagnosis is serious, but there’s a doctor. The Lord Jesus liberates the culprit from death and says, “Go and more sin no more! “
The last commandment of the Ten Commandments is against greed and envy:”You will not ask your neighbor’s property.” Jesus warns us about this sin when he says, “Be careful and protect yourself from all greed.” As the Catechism teaches, the Lord is training us to avoid materialism, who brings with it the poverty of spirit (cf. KKC 2544). Miserly is an uncontrolled clinging to created good. Ultimately, uncontrolled desire can lead to theft. Through covetousness is in professional life if the trader wishes people’s need lack of goods, lawyer disputes or doctor of illness and the like. In life a stingy man pushes wealth out of God’s first place. First for min this is the greatness of this sin that actually offends the Lord God by because of wealth, he despises God. Paul does not hesitate to attribute the sin of covetousness to idolatry. Then covetousness is evil relates the neighbor:covetousness shifts the neighbor. In this way they oppose the love of their neighbor, in particular the poor. Dependence is associated with covetousness. Envy is an unfavorable attitude towards a neighborly looking at the benefits that others enjoy. Unlike. The covetousness over the desire to have for yourself is dominated by an even stronger desire to others did not. Envy is a kind of sadness from a foreign good. It can to destroy the neighbor, which is even more perverted than theft. Like covetousness and envy contradicts love, for love rejoices in the good of a neighbor. We can fight vices of covetousness and envy by virtue generosity and goodness. When Lord Abraham brought to the Holy Land, Abraham let his nephew Lot choose a better share of the earth, though
Lot took him a better ground, yet God blessed Abraham more. As well as according to Abraham’s example, we overcome covetousness and avoid envy, awaiting God’s blessing. Finally, let us realize the fact that the one who would be here on earth too He owned everything, loses it all once, death takes it away. The property leave sin his house, his friends will escort him to the grave, all he can do before the Lord, there will be his good deeds. In the last judgment, so many they will sue for being hungry, naked, sick, or traveling; but those for whom of life, he will come with gratitude and the Lord will say, “What have you done to them, you made me! ” Let’s look at life through God’s optics. Let’s look for what’s up! Let us to the Lord, let us repent and strive for virtue, so prepare treasure in heaven.
