THE NINTH COMMANDMENT: SEEK PURITY OF MIND AND HEART

    In the review of the Sixth Commandment, we covered how this commandment is focused on the physical acts and forbids the impure actions, the Ninth Commandment addresses the deliberate and conscious intentions and thoughts inside of us. The Ninth Commandment is focused on our heart and our mind – the impure desires, thoughts, and covetousness inside each of us.

    THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT: BE FAITHFUL TO GOD AND YOUR SPOUSE

      The Catechism teaches that Christ’s grace in the Sacrament of Marriage protects the essential purposes of marriage: the good of the couple and the generation and education of children. Anything that is contrary to these primary purposes of marriage would likely be contrary to this Commandment.
