Manage episode 439698773 series 2904078
St. Monica prayed with perseverance and hope for the conversion of her son—who eventually became not only baptized Catholic, but also a priest, a bishop and a saint, now known as St. Augustine. Hope in God, love for God, adoration, worship and fidelity are all attitudes included in the First Commandment. In this episode I look at some of the sins against the First Commandment like presumption, despair, indifference, lukewarmness, occultism and hatred of God among others.
