The 9th and 10th Commandment: You Shall Not Covet

In this episode, George Calleja talks about the 9th and 10th commandments. He explains:
-What is the 9th and 10th commandment?
– And what is Concupiscence? What is its effect?
-What are the steps we can take to purify the heart?
-How do we deal with envy and how do we identify this area of covetousness in our life?
-Does social media play a role in wanting our neighbor’s goods and how do we deal with this?

Greed and Envy

This episode has been one solid testimony. So back in October while I was doing all this traveling, I was hoping to record the last two commandments. There were several people who turned this episode down. But as I have learned, God always has someone better. He’s always looking for partners in his ministry. People who like Mary will say yes.

I finally started praying because I knew we had a very successful year in covering the ten commandments and I let everything go, trusting in God’s providence. When I wrote to George, I had almost given up until he said yes.

George’s words on this podcast about the 9th and 10th commandments were deeply spiritual. He is someone who has shared his own personal experience. I value his wisdom. His solution is prayer is the answer to everything. I cannot agree more.

Moreover, Goerge shares the profound advice that if were are struggling with envy and greed perhaps we are lacking in maturity. He shares some amazing advice throughout this episode and I couldn’t have hoped for a better person. God always works all things for our good. Hallelujah!

As we close out the year, I wish all of my listeners a very blessed Christmas and a happy new year.
