On this page, you'll find our summer bulletin highlights on the Ten Commandments—the Decalogue (“ten words” of God). The Ten Commandments state what is required in the love of God and neighbor and are obligatory for Christians. The first three concern our love of God and the other seven love of neighbor.
Each commandment directs us to positive action as well as prohibiting certain actions. This review may help us to see the Commandments in a new way and can be an aid in examining our conscience in preparation for sacramental confession.
