Thinking Thursday During a visit to a mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criteria is that defines if a patient should be institutionalized. "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub. Then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub." Okay, here's your test:  1. Would you use the spoon? 2. Would you use the teacup? 3. Would you use the bucket?

Thinking Thursday Cont. Where can you finish reading several books before you finish even one sentence? You answer me, although I never ask you questions. What am I? 3. Is an older one-hundred dollar bill worth more than a newer one?

Don’t take the Lord’s name in vain. Second Commandment Don’t take the Lord’s name in vain.

Write down the definition of what you think each word means Bodkin Crapulous Fungible Nugatory Toothsome

Actual Definitions Bodkin – little body Crapulous – characterized by a gross overeating or over drinking. Fungible – serve in place of Nugatory – having no value, useless Toothsome – agreeable, attractive

Words have meaning! Words are more than just symbolic verbal sounds. Our words are a sign of the Imagio Dei, the divine spark. Our words are connected to the Word (logos) Jesus Christ.

God’s Name is sacred God’s name is deeply connected to His whole self. Not just a word. To misuse God’s name is an offense to Him.

Misuses of God’s name Swearing in His name when we shouldn’t Using His name within a curse - Speaking ill of Him

Commands us to DO Pray Have reverence towards God Keeping your WORD. (Who is the Word?) Proclaim the Gospel Be a good example – as baptized Christians your actions speak about God.

Commands us NOT to do Blasphemy Cursing Irreverent use of God’s name False oaths Perjury

Irreverent Use of God’s Name Trivial or disrespectful use of God’s name or other holy things. Ex. Using the Lord’s name in vain

Blasphemy Hateful, defiant, disrespectful talk about God, saints, Mary.

Cursing Calling down evil or ill will upon someone.

False Oath An oath names God as a witness to the truth of what you’re saying. If you are not speaking Truth or you are swearing to do something evil if you have brought God’s name it something wrong. Perjury – Lying under oath

Profanity Unnecessary Jesus said, “I tell you, on the day of judgment men will render account for every careless word they utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Mt 12:36 Scandalous Desensitizing Unintelligent "Let your speech be always gracious and in good taste, and strive to respond properly to all who address you" (Colossians 4:6).
