Question 12

What does God require in the ninth and tenth commandments?

Children: Ninth, that we do not lie or deceive. Tenth, that we are content, not envying anyone.

Adult: Ninth, that we do not lie or deceive, but speak the truth in love. Tenth, that we are content, not envying anyone or resenting what God has given them or us.

Lord of All Truth, help us to reflect your goodness in word and deed. You know all things. Nothing is hidden from you. You give good gifts and withhold no good thing from your children. May your truth be on our lips and contentment be in our hearts. Amen.
