In this episode we reflect on the obligation that, as a result of the First Commandment, individual persons and societies and their leaders as well, have to recognize and obey God, Jesus Christ, and even accept and recognize the Catholic Church as the Church established by Christ. We mention the examples of St. Louis IX King of France, St. Ferdinand III King of Castile and Aragon, Blessed Karl of Austria and Gabriel García Moreno President of Ecuador.

St. Monica prayed with perseverance and hope for the conversion of her son—who eventually became not only baptized Catholic, but also a priest, a bishop and a saint, now known as St. Augustine. Hope in God, love for God, adoration, worship and fidelity are all attitudes included in the First Commandment. In this episode I look at some of the sins against the First Commandment like presumption, despair, indifference, lukewarmness, occultism and hatred of God among others.

The Commandments (or the Decalogue) were given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 24). We can read about this in the book of Exodus and Deuteronomy. They must be understood within the context of God’s Covenant with Man. God gives us the gift of his Commandments not as a burden or a limitation, but to guide us to eternal life, to show us the easiest way to Heaven.
