The Decalogue
Then God spoke all these words:
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of
slavery. You shall not have other gods beside me
You shall not invoke the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day—keep it holy
Honor your father and your mother.
You shall not kill.[i]
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.
Exodus 20:1-17
Thanks be to God.
Narito Ako
Koro:
Panginoon, narito ako naghihintay sa utos
Mo. Lahat ng yaman ko, ay alay ko sa ‘Yo
Ikaw ang tanging buhay ko
Batid ko nga, at natanto sa kasulatan
‘Yong turo pakikinggan, at itatago sa sulok
ng puso
(Koro)
God, You created heaven and earth and filled them.
Your law is the truth and You are the truth.
Happy Who Blessed is he who loves You, his friend in You
and those who are rejected for Your name’s sake;
Loves You or no one who is dear to You cannot be lost;
and he who abides in You, remains in You.
Amen.
Then God said: Let us make human beings in
our image, after our likeness.

God when he
created the world
and human kind.

… and He loves them at all times!
Many times in the history of salvation, humanity
forget again and again that they created in the
Image and Likeness of God and they commit sins.
Each time they forget and they live only for
themselves, THEY ARE NOT HAPPY.
God saw this sadness of man and so
to help and guide them in regaining
this happiness and peace in their
mind, heart and soul, he gave the
