MAKING CONNECTION
WHAT DOES COVET MEAN?
HOW CAN COVETOUSNESS
DRIVE A PERSON TO STEAL?
(HOW IS THE 1OTH COMMANDMENT
RELATED TO THE 7TH
COMMANDMENT?)

COVET
The tenth commandment deals with
the wrongful desire of the heart
which is COVETOUSNESS, from
which stealing can arise. It forbids
great selfishness
and
greed
arising
SIMILARITIES
from a great desire for richness and
power, and even envy to the success
of others

(CFC 1147).

DIFFERENCES

TWO THINGS
ENVY

GREED

the wanting of what

somebody else has
such as good
fortune, success
and etc. It is this
feeling that leads
us to do covetous
acts.

the unreasonable
and excessive
desire to
accumulate wealth
and property for
the self.

DIFFERENCES

TO FIGHT THE TWO THINGS

ENVY

GREED

BE CONTENTED. Be happy for other

people. Think about other people.

Be generous to other people. Share

what you have.
DIFFERENCES

REMEMBER
Jesus asks us to live under
the loving providence of the
Father. We must not
excessively worry about our
daily needs because God the
Father knows what we need.
Thus, we should not be more
selfish with what we have for
we should also consider
others good and benefits (cf.
CCC 2404).
DIFFERENCES

IN SUMMARY
What do we need to understand about
the 7th and 10th commandments?

What values do the 7th and 10th

commandments teach us?

What actions can we do to live the 7th

and 10th commandments?

DIFFERENCES

IN SUMMARY
Both commandments remind us about
what the proper and improper way
of handling relationships with others
as regards properties and
possessions.

DIFFERENCES

IN SUMMARY
The seventh
commandment
focuses on the acts
and outward results
of ones greediness that is, taking the
possessions and
properties of others.
We should respect
public properties
and facilities.

DIFFERENCES

IN SUMMARY
The tenth commandment focuses
more on the inward act or desire of
the heart to get more possessions
which can result to stealing.

DIFFERENCES

IN SUMMARY
The seventh and tenth commandments
remind us to respect Gods creation.

Plants, animals, and other natural

resources are meant for the good of
everyone including the future
generations. Thus, the use of natural
resources should be limited by our
concern for others and for the future
generations (cf. CCC 2415).
DIFFERENCES

DO YOU STILL REMEMBER?

1. The seventh commandment forbids desiring badly
the property of other people.

2. Cheating is a form of stealing.

3. Vandalism goes against the 7th commandment.

4. Covetousness guides us to appreciate and be

contented with what we have.

5. Christ reminds us that we should be generous

with what we have, since all of creations was
intended to be shared by all humanity.
