  1. The Holy Name Chapter 5

  2. The Holy Name • The Second Commandment forbids disrespect or lack of reverence in God’s name or to anything holy. • God revealed his name to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM” (Ex 3:14) • Group work: Gen 17: 1-8, Gen 32:24-30, Ex 3:1-10, 1 Sam 3:1-10, Lk 19:2-6 … who did God call by name?

  3. The Holy Name • Violations of the Second Commandment include blasphemy,or the verbal abuse or scorn toward God,false oaths, and swearing upon God’s name unnecessarily. • An oath calls on God to witness to the truth of what we are saying.

  4. The Holy Name • Vows are promises made before God. Vows are binding. A vow is a solemn declaration committing oneself to do something. A religious vow is made for a religious reason. • Religious vows include poverty, chastity, and obedience. These are called the three evangelical counsels. • Married couples vow fidelity in marriage.

  5. The Holy Name • Respect is due not only to God, but also to holy things. • The Church structure and objects used for Mass, as well as blessed objects, are holy and must be treated reverently. • We honor and respect priests and people consecrated to God because they belong to God in a special way.
