O The 1st Commandment of Eternal God

The 1st Commandment of Eternal God is I am the Divine Lord your Eternal God

You will not have strange gods before Me

By the 1st Commandment we are commanded to offer God alone the supreme worship that is due to Him

We worship Eternal God by acts of Faith, Hope and Charity

And adoring Him and praying to Him

A Catholic Christian sins against faith by not believing what Eternal God has revealed

And by taking  art in non-Catholic worship

The sins against hope are presumption and despair

The chief sins against charity are hatred of Eternal God and of our neighbor

Envy

Sloth or laziness

Or scandal

Charity means love

Hatred is against love

Envy is being displeased at another’s success

Sloth is laziness

Scandal is bad example
