Follow along with the official Catechism in a Year Reading Plan (https://AscensionPress.com/CIY)

We begin exploring the fifth commandment: “you shall not kill”. The Catechism reminds us that human life is sacred, and we must not take the life of another innocent human. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus takes this commandment even further as he calls us to avoid anger, hatred, and vengeance in addition to loving our enemies. By forgiving and extending to others the same love and mercy we are willing to extend to ourselves, we are respecting the dignity of that person. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2258-2262.

Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children – parental discretion is advised.
