Lessons from Our Lord

What lessons do we share with our young ? How can we influence them to lead a good life?

 God gave us the following in the 5th Book of Dueteronomy -

 I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

⁷ Thou shalt not have strange gods in my sight.

⁸ Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any things, that are in heaven above, or that are in the earth beneath, or that abide in the waters under the earth.

⁹ Thou shalt not adore them, and thou shalt not serve them. For I am the Lord thy God, a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon their children unto the third and fourth generation, to them that hate me,

¹⁰ And shewing mercy unto many thousands, to them that love me, and keep my commandments.

¹¹ Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for he shall not be unpunished that taketh his name upon a vain thing.

¹² Observe the day of the sabbath, to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee.

¹³ Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.

¹⁴ The seventh is the day of the sabbath, that is, the rest of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not do any work therein, thou nor thy son nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant nor thy maidservant, nor thy ox, nor thy ass, nor any of thy beasts, nor the stranger that is within thy gates: that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest, even as thyself.

¹⁵ Remember that thou also didst serve in Egypt, and the Lord thy God brought thee out from thence with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm. Therefore hath he commanded thee that thou shouldst observe the sabbath day.

¹⁶ Honour thy father and mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee, that thou mayst live a long time, and it may be well with thee in the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee.

¹⁷ Thou shalt not kill.

¹⁸ Neither shalt thou commit adultery.

¹⁹ And thou shalt not steal.

²⁰ Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.

²¹ Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife: nor his house, nor his field, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.
