Pray for us sinners now in the hour of our death amen. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning as now in the verse shall be world without end amen. Our first mystery in this series

We're thinking deeply about how morality is not just about rules. It's about a relationship It's about a deep personal relationship with Jesus God is not an idea. He's a person and he gives himself to us The first commandment taught us love him first. Don't choose something instead of him

Now the second commandment shows us what that love looks like in practice

Because every friendship is revealed and how you treat the friend and especially and how you treat their name If you love someone You don't use their name carelessly. You don't attach it to what is false You don't use it to serve yourself. You don't mock their name Because their name represents them. It brings them to mind and into the moment and

God is given us his name so that we can know him Call on him and be close to him So the second commandment is not mainly about words It's about how we treat God because here too the same thing is happening God offers himself in friendship even in his name and we respond

Either by receiving him with love and truth and reverence Or by taking his name and using it for what is empty or false or self-serving And that's not just a mistake and speech. It's disloyalty in friendship It's taking the one who loves you and treating him as if he were small or

unimportant or useless Or even worse is something to be mocked So the second commandment it's not a restriction. It's an invitation

To love God so much and to know him so personally that you would never want to misuse his name

Because you would never want to misuse him Because when you love someone, you're careful with their name and when you love Jesus You are loyal to him even in the way you speak Which is why it's a sin to take holy things lightly It's a sin and a violation of the second commandment to take God's name in vain

Our father who art in heaven hollowed be your name that kingdom calm. They will be done on earth as it is in heaven Give us a stay our dearly bread and forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil amen. You're Mary full of grace. The Lord is with thee blessed our Thalmang women Blessed is a fruit of thy womb Jesus holy Mary mother of God

Free for us and earns now in at the hour of our death. Amen. They'll marry full of grace. The Lord is with the blessed our Thalmang women blessed

World without end amen. Oh my Jesus. Forgive us, our sins. Save us from the fires of health. Lead all souls to have

an especially those most in need of thy mercy. Our second mystery. Image her people and really

irresponsible comedians act as though nothing is important. Nothing is sacred. Like every sin. This is and attack on human goodness on human nature. Because when you act like nothing really matters, that means your robbing life of its ultimate meaning. All human life, all pain, all the heroism, all the beauty and the love becomes just a big joke. We need our lives to have significance if we're going to be happy. We need certain things to matter. Certain things have to be serious.

Certain things have to be important. And the only way to preserve a sense of the importance of human

life is to preserve a sense of the importance, the grandeur, the infinite dignity and majesty of God. Because if God isn't important, then nothing is. If God doesn't matter, then we certainly don't. And if we don't matter, if nothing we care about or experience or love matters, then there's nothing worthwhile about our existence. And that is the essence of despair. Our father who art in heaven, hollowed beer name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us a dear, dearly bread, and forgive us our trespasses. As we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil eye men.

Hail Mary, be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, has now never shall be world without end, amen.

Oh, my Jesus. Forgive us, our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to have an especially those most in need of thy mercy. Our third mystery, each of the ten commandments is about protecting and promoting

our friendship with God, our happiness, and our flourishing.

And that goes for the second commandment, too. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. Now God's existence isn't diminished if we don't respect Him, but ours is. God doesn't lose His sense of self-worth if we speak of Him irreverently, but we will.

Our dignity and our sense of human importance, that's all predicated on God's dignity and

importance. We only exist because He has shared His existence. We only have dignity because our Heavenly Father has shared His dignity with us, His adopted children, and our lives only have meaning and significance and purpose in so far as we are related to Him. So, to undermine our sense of His greatness is to undermine any hope of living a life that matters. Our Father who art in heaven, how it would be your name,

thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us a stay, our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses.

As we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil, amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with the Blessed Artile,

among women blessed is a fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God,

Oh, my Jesus. For give us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to have an especially those most in need of thy mercy.

The fourth mystery.

Imagine hearing someone use your son or daughter's name as a curse.

You'd feel it instantly, because that name isn't just a word, it's the person you love. If I heard that, I would stop them immediately, no matter what it cost me. Blast for me does that to the name of Jesus. But the commandment doesn't just forbid saying evil, hateful, horrible things about God.

Can you imagine what Jesus thinks when we mock the name of His Father?

That is why the second commandment condemned speaking about God and vain, as oh God, we're insignificant. And this is a fault that nearly everyone, atheist and Christians manifest throughout the English speaking world. We use the word God or even the name Jesus as a form of punctuation

or as a way of expressing mild surprise or anger or disgust. I mean, it's astonishing when you think that we take the name of God and use it as a term of disgust. This must not be done.

You can't really act as though God is the most important thing.

When you're constantly talking as though God is completely unimportant. Our words and thoughts and actions, they all go together. The name of God is holy and what is holy is touched and spoken of with reverence or it's not to be touched or spoken of at all.

For without the holy, without the sacred, without the supremely important

and the foundation of significance for every human life, without that, we will all descend into meaninglessness. Our Father, who art in heaven, hollowed be your name,

thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Your vests are daily bread and for give us our trespasses. As we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, amen. Your Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee blessed, our Thou among women blessed is a fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us and earn us now in the hour of our death, amen.

Your Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee blessed, our Thou among women blessed is a fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us and earn us now in the hour of our death, amen. Your Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee blessed, our Thou among women blessed is a fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us and earn us now in the hour of our death, amen.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us and earn us now in the hour of our death, amen. Your Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee blessed, our Thou among women blessed is a fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us and earn us now in the hour of our death, amen. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, as now in the earth shall be world without I and amen. Oh, my Jesus, forgive us, our sins, save us from the fires of hell.

Lead all souls to have an especially those most in need of thy mercy. Our fifth mystery. We should speak of God as though he's watching us because he is. The Catechism says, the Lord's name is Holy. For this reason, man must not abuse it.

He must keep it in mind in silent, loving, adoration.

speech except to bless, praise and glorify it. St. John Henry Newman points out that, we all talk about people differently depending on whether they're present or not. When people aren't present, we tend to speak about them less respectfully. We're more likely to be dismissive and sometimes even insulting. So, Newman says,

remember that God is present whenever you speak of him. He hears how you use his name and how you talk

about him. So, before you say his name, remember he's there and remember one day you'll see him as he is. King and ruler of the universe, infinite creator and final judge. He is all those things now and he hears what we're saying. So, don't say anything irreverent and don't take his name and vein and even more importantly, when we remember that God is present, Jesus is present. Holy Spirit is present and when we talk with them as one friend to another, we actually grow in a deeper,

more personal friendship with them and we become more aware of all the ways they are taking care of us and all they are doing for us and we become more grateful, more humble, more honoring to this great friend we have in God the Father's Son and Holy Spirit.

So, what is our resolution? I think our resolution is to practice remembering the presence of God

and then speak to him as a friend and if you make that a habit, both your speech and your behavior will be a lot better. Our Father who art in heaven, hollowed be your name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us a stare, dearly bread, and forgive us our trespasses. As we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil amen. The Omery full of grace, the Lord is

Well, what caught your attention with that meditation, Trisa?

This subject excites me so much, because I think this is just the tip of the iceberg

on a huge conversation about morality and speech, but at first of all, it makes me really want to

reread Joseph Peeper's abusive language of use of power, because it touches on a lot of these things that obviously you were talking just the first second commandment, but my mind was wandering through all of the implications of this, of the way our language really is so much more impactful than we realize. And this all, of course, does connect back to how we talk about God, but in all of our speech, especially when you talk about comedy and humor and the way that that normalizes things,

it's why I feel like so much of comedy is a lot of very crude humor and that's for two reasons. I say it's the shock factor is very easy to get a laugh, because people are in a way suddenly surprised that you're talking about something, and people feel comfortable when you normalize things that they do that they're ashamed of, but that's one very powerful element of humor that I could talk about that for ages, but it's, for instance, every single social movement,

every big, if you have a social agenda, everyone knows that how you word something is so critical

of that, that's why most, it's really indicative of a, or a great example of that is we say pro-life,

they don't say pro-death, they would say pro-choice, but also why we would never say pro anti-choice, we wouldn't say anti-choice, it's really, really specific how you use your language, because it tells an entirely different story, and so that's just the tip of the iceberg of how we talk about God, it might seem very casual, but these words affect everything. Well, you just said it, how you speak tells your whole story.

Even if you don't think about it that way, even if you say pro-life or pro-choice, that's not, you're not thinking of the greater story every time, but it has these implications and the power of a word, but we live in a society where there are words you absolutely cannot say

without losing your job, losing everything, but God's not one of them, or in a negative way,

you can't, that's fine by most of us, including Catholics, and we should be outraged. I've spent a lot of time in the Middle East, and I've worked closely with a lot of Muslims. You wouldn't dare to blaspheme the name of Mohammed. They would, you would know it immediately. That's a brilliant reverence, and one thing like one simple resolution to have here is just to

practice a level of reverence with our speech for God to make up for this lack. But in reparation, can turn this tide around. That's a really good point in reparation, we should do that.

Because our language is powerful.

Yeah, and it's, but I like what you said, the way you speak tells, all story, the way you speak tells your story, because this is about more than speech, this is about the way you live your life. All the time, so our life and our words, our actions and our words should be a sign of God. I mean, we are Christian. We carry his name, so our life and our words should remind other people of God.

And I've noticed something, if your words and your life regularly remind people of God, it affects their behavior. They clean up their behavior. I've noticed, I was with a friend in Chicago. He worked downtown. We took the train and our ride down, and we took the train and our ride back home. And on this train, just happened to be, I was sitting with a bunch of steel workers,

Guys that put up the steel frames for build well them together, and they didn...

So we're riding along on the train, and they're just having their normal conversation,

and it's laced with all kinds of blasts for me. And they turned to me and said,

because everybody rides the same train every day. So I'm the different person that day. So they halfway through the conversation, they asked me, "So what do you do for a living?" I thought, "Well, I'm a theologian. Silence." For because they didn't know what that was. No, they knew. You know, growing up, all my friends thought you were a scientist.

I should have I'm a Catholic theologian. They immediately apologized. That's awesome. They apologized for what they had been saying, and they changed completely, because they were suddenly reminded of God. So our life has to be a constant reminder about that doesn't mean you go around and be the cosmic

spiritual cop. But something an example where people want to mess your pace, match your pace

in conversation, as well as your vocabulary. Where people will always wait for someone else to

curse to feel like they can curse. Do you never give them that? Yeah. You see people turn tail, talking a very different way. But I also am absolutely convinced we should not tolerate if someone mocks or blasphemes or uses it as a curse. Anything about God or any holy thing or anything connected to our faith, we should absolutely not tolerate it. Yeah. But this I almost feel as if we should do an entire meditation someday. I'm just

the many levels of morality and speech, because it will change our life. I gave up cursing a couple of years ago now. And even to this day, I feel like I'm constantly running into dead ends and running into a brick wall and conversation, because I'm like, oh, there's a word I want to use. I can't use it. And it reminds you how pervasive it is in language, but also how difficult it can be to not curse at all, even in

quotation. But I really no matter where you're at with your language and your speech, whether that's gossip or using the Lord's name in vain or any form of derogatory humor, anything. There's some step you can take and you'll be very surprised where you could be in a couple of years slowly changing your speech. But it is so transformative of life just to start there. By giving up one thing fully and suddenly you're like, oh, I actually have self-control.

Yeah, that's it. And one of the, uh, I don't know if I've told the story of the podcast, but one of the reasons I really wanted to give up cursing was I was driving late at night. And I care, it was like I was about to get over and a car came up behind me, really, really fast. They were just like trying to pass on the right, speeding past and I had to swarve and I kind of like lost control

the wheel for a second and was headed towards the median for a second. My car screeches out and I'm

like stopped on the highway for a second. And the first thing out of my mouth was so profane. It was, it was, it was profane. It was stupid. It was meaningless. And I was like, that would have been my last word. Yeah, that would have been the dumbest thing to say. But then just recently, I was, I was driving with my mom and I, like, it was one of those really hard stops. Big traffic comes up really suddenly. And I said something. It was like so mid-western,

like, whoop. And I was like, well, that would have been my last word. And that's equally stupid, but at least I wouldn't feel bad about it. Yeah. They're definitely, you know, you got to practice your last words because you don't get to choose them when they come out. There was that really funny moment when we were on, we were in, we were coming down from Mount Tabor. And we were out, we had to get to the airport. So, Yasser, our bus driver was like, we don't have time to

pray the Rosary in the church. You have to pray it on the bus. And we were, so we were recording the

Rosary podcast as we were driving in the bus toward the airport. And he was, he was really pushing it because he didn't get us there in time. When Yasser pushes a bus. Yeah, yeah, it was flying. But it was so funny because we were, we were Hail Mary Full of Grace. The Lord is with the blessed Arthal, among women. Blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And right there, right at that moment, he, he slowed on the break right by a Jesus. It does, I think that's in an episode somewhere. It is. It's

not so funny. It was literally right at that moment of the prayer. It was pretty crazy. That was

Pretty, for everyone laughed at that.

Well, it's important for us to have a sense of humor. But the right one. But the right one. Let's be apostles of friendship, good conversation, and the Rosary. Share this with others. [BLANK_AUDIO]
