To modern ears the
Ten Commandments seem
harsh and restricting.
In reality, they embody
the most perfect expression
of human freedom.
Only by obeying the
Commandments can we live
fully human lives and achieve
union with God.
In these remarkable pages,
Fr. Brian Mullady reveals the many
often-overlooked, soul-nourishing
elements and implications of each
of the Commandments.
Here you’ll come to understand
how the Commandments are not just
ten individual rules; but an entire plan
of life that draws you into God's light
and brings you enduring peace with
others—and with yourself.
You’re sure to close the pages
of this book with newfound gratitude
for the magnificent divine gift of the
Commandments and with a greater
resolve to believe in them, meditate
upon on them, and strive to live
in accordance with them.
From Fr. Mullady you’ll learn:
- How obedience and love are necessary companions
- How the moral truths revealed by God complement the truths of nature
- How the First Commandment speaks of a kind of “marital love” God shares with us
- How “tempting God” involves doubt about God’s nature
- The two conditions that mark any legitimate Sabbath rest
- Four ways you can place your anger under the control of reason
- The two kinds of “natural” rights you have as a human — and their relation to other rights
- The five main categories of sinful speech
- How the “negative” commandments complement the “positive” commandments
