 First published as a special series in Liguorian, Living the Ten Commandments as a Catholic Today has been collected and published by Liguori Publications and is now available.
As Christians, we learn the ten commandments and use them as guides to help us in our relationships with our loved ones, our neighbors, and God. God gave the ten commandments to us because He only wants what's good for us. But what do they tell us about living in today's world? How do we follow guides that were written thousands of years ago? |

 In Catholic school I learned to repeat the above phrase often. It expresses gratitude for having been spared the sufferings we see others endure. It arouses compassion, moving us to help others shoulder their burdens. If the suffering of others is the result of their own wrong behavior, it teaches humility and solidarity, reminding us that were it not for God’s help, we might have fallen into the same wrong patterns of life, bringing similar disgrace upon ourselves.

 It's a good thing I can e-mail this article to Liguorian, because my wife and I don’t dare leave our fourth-floor condo. The “elevator man” is in the building. Well, that’s who he said he was when he rang the intercom and asked me to buzz the front door open. Home invaders always have a smooth line that gets them in the door. That Acme Elevator truck sitting outside and yesterday’s “Elevator Maintenance Tomorrow” memo didn’t fool me either.
