Why Is Taking the Lord’s Name in Vain Wrong?
Vložit

- There is a beauty in the fact that God shares his very name with us. He gives us his name so that we can call upon him in prayer, hold him in our hearts, and know we are not alone.
Today, Fr. Mike discusses the importance of reverencing this name. While the world throws this holy title around, we are called to have awareness of the power and the goodness of God. Fr. Mike explains that in recognizing the meaning of names like God, Jesus, and Mary, we honor them and all they offer us. As we walk through life as God’s children, his name should never be regarded as an afterthought but instead considered one of the greatest gifts he has granted us.

Whenever we hear the Lord’s name taken in vain, it is good to bow the head and say silently, “Blessed be the name of Jesus”. This way it can become a prayer on our part.
I've loved your idea!
It’s an act of reparation as well for the sin that was committed when you do that.
Maybe tell the person who commented “SMEATIONS LIGHTHOUSE “ on people who make that mistake is “DISGUSTING “. I am not a Catholic and brother sent this link to me who is 54 and in CATHOLIC. SCHOOL “. Well I started to listen to message and read few responses AND I SEE SMEATINS LIGHTHOUSE IS SO JUDGEMENTAL. !! YOU TURNED ME OFF SAD !!! Your never know the opportunity you have to win a soul. Don’t ever call Gods childrens Disgusting! Maybe they need to be found and saved and will change how they speak I’m sorry this is what turns me off with religion. The people who tho k they are Holier than the next brother or sister. Nothing or nobody is DISGUESTING TO GOD
CHECK YOURSELF
My grandmother would always teach us to say "Holy is his name" after we hear it as well.
@@kathleencrawford6203
God isnt disgusted by anyone.
But God does get disgusted by sin.
I cringe anytime someone uses the words “Jesus Christ” out of frustration around me....
Unfortunately, many Christians and non-Christians alike do it where I live, and trying to persuade them to stop (in a VERY calm, well-explained manner) rarely ever works. I guess I should just offer it up in prayer
Do we have the duty to remind a brother if he sins in that case?
I pray 'Admirable is the name of God' whenever I hear His name taken casually.
When I hear co workers say that I'll ask them, "What about him" very casually as if they had meant to bring him up for discussion. I've annoyed quite a few people but now they apologize if they let it slip around me. I tell them they don't have to apologize to ME though. 😊
Yes me too. I just say a prayer quietly. Because it reminds me of how i myself used to do it and not realizing the severity of the matter.
Especially Americans, sorry to say. I'm South African and all the American TV shows we see, reality or not, they say 'oh my God', All.. The.. Time. !! It's unbelievable!
Yes, they do. TV is terrible.
And they say Jesus Christ a lot as a way of swearing
Its awful. My chest hurts everytime I hear that in a show.
@@janesansible Christ's shed 🩸 on the cross sanctifies our souls 🐰
I am so glad you called out us Americans on that, you're absolutely right!
I hear my dad say it all. The. Time. It breaks my heart. Every time he says it I try to say in my head, our Father who art in heaven hallowed be Thy Name.
When someone says “Jesus!” I finish and say “...Mary, Joseph, pray for us"
Hi Ashleigh, my grandma used to always say "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!"
My question is, aside from Jesus (God) does mercy also come from Mary and Joseph? If not, why do you say their names following with "have mercy on us" ? Thanks
(Edit: grammatical error)
@@Christ_TheWay Hi Stuart! Thank you so much for catching that! I think I was typing too fast on my phone- I mean't "pray for us" LOL You're right, in any Catholic prayer I've ever read, we ask Jesus for mercy, and we ask the angels and saints for prayers. Great catch!
Randy Couch 🛋 I’ve replied to this ☝️ @ Metanoia prayer room.
@@randycouch2769 Yes to your first question. Most definitely not to your second question. Mary had a number of other children to Joseph before he died.
@@smeatonlighthouse4384 of course we know that Jesus was a virgin, but regarding the virgin Mary as a sexually frustrated woman, who's to say that at some point in her life she wasn't? It's normal even for people who have children, to at some point become sexually frustrated, say if they become single, or widowed, or aren't connecting with their spouse. Definitely not saying she was, just saying the bible doesn't specifically say that she never was.
It has been lost....the reverence. It is so common place that you cannot go a day without hearing it, even on tv. The crazy thing is atheists use His Name in this matter yet they don’t acknowledge God.
Don't be too surprised, atheists quote Leviticus dietary laws to criticise Christianity. What surprises me, is the fact that they find a book of the Bible to be authoritative!
Sad
I pray not completely 🙏 This is why we are Catholic and, called to be different. We are called to be worshippers of his Holy name and,even correct when we hear the Lord's name being used in vain.His name is all too frequently being used. Everytime we use his name we need to remember that. We need to evangelize and utter God's name only when it is used properly.
We dont believe god is real and using his name doesn't justify his existence. If you referd to your friend as Bigfoot cause he's large and freakishly hairy, does that mean Bigfoot is real too? Using gods name is a part of our culture whether you like it or not. Saying goddamnit is a popular phrase that can be used in many different ways.
@@Erik-hi that's the worst one! Sorry we can't prove God but I would die for him in a heartbeat.. I can prove to you demons are real>:) And his works of this Satan ruled world 🌎
I confess this pretty much every time that I go to confession.
When I do curse God’s name, always in a moment of distress, I respond by making the sign of the cross and praying either “Glory be to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and always and forever and ever. Amen”, or “glory to You, our God, glory to You”, or the Jesus Prayer (Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner).
It's a habit, but one that can be beat (for the most part - every once in a while I'll still let something slip out). I like your response, though, and will try to remember that for the next slip.
I have started, not long ago, a CZcams channel that has some, not as common, prayers that you can say; see under the search "Catholicism - M P L"
Catholicism - M P L respect God’s anointing and receive his blessings patiently.
May you be delivered from any hidden horror of your past.✝
Sweetie that's a habit you really need to break and I know it's hard and it's so easy to say God's name in the heat of the moment. The good news is your realising what you are saying and you know it's not intentional and your praying for forgiveness. God bless you
This is always on my confession list too. It is a deeply ingrained habit from a very early age. I am much better, but like you, in moments of distress, out it comes. Thank you for the response suggestions. I will pray for you, please pray for all of us with this sin.
I can so relate to your Grandpa. I came into the church last year and this was one of the things that kept me in the confessional.
I remember one time not 10 minutes after I left confession a car pulled out in front of me and I said it again.
Unlike a lot of other sins, there is absolutely no pleasure to be gained by this sin. I still say it from time to time but am much better about it now. Thanks be to God for the Sacraments that help to heal us of our sinful nature.
Keep praying say 1 our father 3 hailmarys before u go to sleep ask god to help u with that sin
I believe that you have to realize what you're doing
it is my understanding that mortal sins are not mistakes
AMEN. THANK BE TO GOD. 🤩😍🫶👋🤚🖐️✋🫰🙏💯🎉❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙🤎🖤🩶🤍💜🩷💝💖💗💓💞💕💌💟♥️❣️❤️🩹✝️😇.
I cringe whenever I hear someone curse by saying the Lord's name in vain. I'm starting to getting in the habit of praying for them right after they say that
I have heard "holy cow!" before, but not by a Hindi 😂
@Jesus Mea Lux because Buddha is not popular in western culture. Why would anyone think about Buddha when gods the main deity shoved down our throats? Saying, "oh my god," is a popular expression of amazement, surprise, disbelief, etc, at what you have experienced. It doesn't actually mean the person believes in god. I say it all the time and I dont believe in god. For someone talking about idiotic celebs, your comment was highly ignorant.
Erik in the Christian religion, using God's name frivolously or in vain is considered a sin against God.
@@josephjackson1956 oh as a former Christian I know it is considered bad. After searching and questioning my faith, I no longer believe he's real beyond faith. If faith is all I have to justify gods existence, I can justify any gods existence. Once you realize that among other things, offending god sounds like a joke.
Erik hmm, I believe that there is a creator of the universe, and that He created the universe in such a way that life was able to exist; with the complexities of things such as at the cellular level working together to create a being on the macro scale. I believe that God works in all of our lives every day and strives for a relationship with us through faith in Him. Also I believe He is the source of miracles and other unexplainable phenomena.
I came to tears at the end of this video. Hearing how much God cares about me, nothing, just hit me really hard, this path I’m on is wrong. I need to change now.
God bless you. The Lord Jesus loves you ❤️
I'm getting bothered by people on the media and people having no regard for our Father God.
Thank you Father Mike.
Today at work a cricket nearly jumped in my lap and after I kill it I was telling a older Queen that I share an office with about what happened. I said " O my" and you know the rest. She said, " Ms. Ella you are taking the Lord's name in vain." Truth be told I have been unknownly taking His name in vain for years and I am so grateful for her telling me the truth because after she told me she admitted that she didn't won't to because she wasn't sure how I would response but she said God told her to tell me. I'm grateful that she obeyed Him.
I have repent and now I'm praying that God help me to stop.
I'm not Catholic but I watch your videos sometimes. The things you speak on are proof that you do know God. He is most certainly with you, and the people who are being spoken to. I live a life where not many people around are as close to God. So trust me when I say you are wise to stay close to Him. You are truly already being rewarded. There is much life and spirit in you and your perception of the world is a lovely thing that not all can see in such a way. I have to say I am happy you have chosen to share your love for life freely with all. I am appreciate to be able to listen. Much respect. Thank you.
You two seem too wrapped up in the details. Isn't it one of the worst sins to worry? Worry stems from fear. If I had to guess I would think you are not so very at peace, because you seem try worry about controlling others. Just as you are allowed to express what you felt about what I said, I am allowed to express how I feel about a man speaking what he believes.. and I still mean what I said.
When I say I am not Catholic, I am not saying I believe they are illegitimate or than I am a "better" kind of Christian. I am simply saying I am not one (there are several requirements that I happen to not be).
@tony you seem to be the one who is upset here, friend.
AMEN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. 🤩😍🫶👋🤚🖐️✋🫰🙏💯🎉❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙🤎🖤🩶🤍💜🩷💝💖💗💓💞💌💟♥️❣️❤️🩹✝️😇.
I TOTALLY AGREE USE GODS NAME, JESUS WITH REVERENCE! I have taught all my kids to speak His name with respect. I now have adult children and they all use His name respectfully with reverence.
I personally have been working at this and when I slip up, I feel terrible about doing it. I know that being aware of how it hurts Him helps me a lot. Keep on keeping on.....
He's god, he'll get over it
It’s just a word chill out don’t feel terrible
That was sooo needed. Even this morning, I had one of those moments and I used His Holy Name in vain... I felt terrible about it and seeing this video was truly needed.
I’m going to try to be more aware of how I use His Name. It is not good for us, and everybody in the world, if we keep doing it because it could mislead people or do us harm (?), after all it is in His Holy Name that we can do, literally, everything. May The Lord help us to keep our tongue from vain talking, and, taking His Name in vain. In Jesus Mighty Name, amen 🙏🏾
I completely agree. I have tried to become more aware of this. It’s crazy how many people & how today’s society around us says these phrases without caring. Bless you all❤️
ST Glamz God’s word is sacred and holy.

Praised be Our lord.
Yeah I used to be one of those People but now I’m a Christian at 14 years old . I honestly Feel so so Guilty now that I’m aware of this:/
Taking the lord's name in vain is protected by the first Amendment it said that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
@@jeanclaudejunior What a completely unrelated comment
God gives us His name. Use it with reverence, not in vain. I learned A LOT on this one, and by... God's grace, I am going to rethink how I use even "oh my....". Thank you, dear Father.
THANK YOU for this topic. When I have confessed this and the priest didn't seem to think it was a problem--THAT'S A PROBLEM. Now when I hear God's name taken in vain, I say "I love thee so" in reparation.
Whenever I hear someone take the Lord's name in vain, even on TV, I whisper, "May His Holy Name be praised!"
🙌🙏🙌
Fr Mike your intercession has saved my life
My grandfather was told by his catholic nun school teacher "never use the lord's name in vain". It stuck with him and he proudly went through his whole life never breaking this commandment.
My eyes have officially been open. From this day forward, I will be better. "Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins."
This is SO needed!! It's heartbreaking what I hear around me so much....
I say, Oh my God, have mercy in me a sinner. Or something similar when I feel like saying His name in vain
Oh my God, be merciful to me a sinner.
Jesus Christ, son of the living God, have mercy on me a sinner.
Don't say OH MY GOD
Lord, be on my mind, on my lips, and on my heart.
It is said that you can ask for forgiveness in this matter by praying the Divine Praises (and confessing, naturally):
Blessed be God.
Blessed be His Holy Name.
Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true Man.
Blessed be the Name of Jesus.
Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart.
Blessed be His Most Precious Blood.
Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete.
Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most Holy.
Blessed be her Holy and Immaculate Conception.
Blessed be her Glorious Assumption.
Blessed be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother.
Blessed be St. Joseph, her most chaste spouse.
Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints. Amen.
I'm trying so hard to stop myself from doing this. I love God so much and I would never want to hurt him in anyway.
Perfect message Father! Every time I find myself saying “oh my ... I really try hard to stop and be mindful of Mu God My Lord My Savior. If it slips out which it has I will say an act of contrition and confess at my next opportunity. Thank you for this reminder! Amen and Viva Christo Rey! 🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼
Please pray for my husband. He takes the Lord’s name in vain on an almost daily basis, especially in anger or frustration. I’ve spoken to him many times but he still does it. We attend church almost every Sunday to celebrate mass so it’s hard for me to understand why he keeps doing it.
Cherry Wan, Perhaps the Lord wants you to be the example of His love...bear this special grace given only to you. It will not be forgotten
I feel for you. My dad is the same way, although as he has aged and is no longer working, he doesn't use God's name vain like he use to. Praying for your husband, while I pray for my dad.
Respond “ Holy is His name” or “ Jesus, Mary and Joseph save souls “ in reparation 🌹Correction can seem as criticism to your husband so a whispered reparation for this sin and prayer for him will do him more good without nagging or correcting him like a child. Your pain and discomfort hearing this can be offered up as a suffering for his conversion🕊
Cherry Wan - One thing we all need to realize is that we are sinners by nature as well as sinners by practice. The hardest thing for us all to do is to admit that we are guilty sinners before a holy God. We try to do our best and to control our tongues. We are wasting our time completely. Even if we could manage it, the Bible is clear that 'All our righteousnesses are like filthy rags in the sight of God'. Also it says in Romans ch. 3 v 23: For there is no difference, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God'.
That is the bad news. Here is the good news. Jesus said: 'I am come, not call the righteous, but sinners to repentance'. 'The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost'. The apostle Paul reminds us: 'This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief'.
For by grace (God's unmerited favour) are we saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works lest anyone should boast'.
Ask God to save you, for Christ's sake and glory. (John ch. 6 v 37).
I'm not unlike your husband. No excuses I take the Lords name in vain without thinking about it. This message has helped me see what is wrong. Have your husband watch this video!
It is a Pleasure to me that I have met online a Great Priest Fr.Mike Spence Fr.Thank you for being my Friend & Therapist
Amen! Thank you, Father for this wonderful message!
This is relevant and a threshold for trust in the Lord. Thank you Father.
Thank you for the reminder, Father! Our speech does affect how we think and act. Let us give the Lord's name great reverence!
I'm so glad you made a video about this, Fr. Mike! I had an encounter with Christ recently while I was using His Holy Name as a prayer, where He shared with me His intense suffering every time someone abuses His Name. This encounter left me in tears and it inspired me to do the self retreat by Fr. Gaitley, "Consoling the Heart of Jesus". Thank you for addressing this serious topic that is so close to my heart. God bless you! And God bless everyone!!!!
Thank you Father for re-detecting us to the right Path!
Praise God’s Holy name!! Thank you fr Mike I agree with you 100%
I absolutely love your videos and topics. I believe you are reminding us to "wake up" in our faith and open our eyes to God again and know how wonderful He is! You are truly blessed. Thank you so much Fr. Mike. May God keep blessing you and sharing the wisdom and knowledge of our faith.
This was in my mind for a while. Thanks youtube for the suggestion. Though I firmly believe that God Himself shows us the answers to burning questions in our hearts. Thank You Lord.
Since have returned to confession on a regular basis, for the most part, I have corrected myself of the very bad "habit" of saying the "Oh my G..." Now when I accidentally say it I immediately notice and am sorry I did say it. Then I go to confession and I accuse myself of taking the Lord's Name in vain. Since I returned to confession I am hyper aware of how grave the sin is and it now bugs me a lot when my wife says it. I used to fear confession. Now, thanks to the Holy Spirit's help returning to confession, I LOVE confession. It a GREAT grace that God has given us to help us become better persons! Knowing you have to confess your sins week after week is a good deterrent from sinning.
My attitude has changed towards confession Today I find it appalling that Catholics almost never go to confession anymore when it truly helped me to become a better person! I now have the inner peace I spent years praying for!!! Had I known how to find this peace, I would have returned to weekly confession years ago. God is SO GOOD to have given us confession!
Yep.

@@bonganimasango2584 You are a very confused individual! I will not enter into a debate with you, but keep in mind that IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH YOU WOULD NOT EVEN BELIEVE IN JESUS TODAY!
Ephesians 4:5 "There is one Lord, ONE FAITH, one baptism". Jesus did NOT found a gazillion protestant heresies! EVIL man did! Jesus founded ONE Church and that ONE FAITH is the Holy Catholic Church. How can you preach to Catholics when YOU REJECT GOD'S ONE AND TRUE CHURCH THAT HE FOUNDED HIMSELF? By rejecting His Church you are REJECTING GOD. You are in a state of deadly sin and you desperately need conversion!!!
@@bonganimasango2584 1. Actually, it does (whatever sins you forgive are forgiven them). 2. Where is Scripture does it say everything has to be taught in Scripture?
@@bonganimasango2584 Oh, and you might want to read the books of the New Covenant one more time (and understand the root of the English word 'priest' is the Greek word usually translated as 'presbyter').
God bless you too, dear Father Mike. And thank you. You're wonderful God's creaiton, even better to say - a masterpiece ✝️❤️😇😊
Thank you much for putting this into a way I understood.
Thank you also for ministry you are one of the few priests that I trust. Your ministry has been instrumental in bringing me back home.
Well said Father and thank you for reminding us about misuse of the Holy Name of God. May God help us to overcome this mortal sin by abstaining from calling His Holy Name in vain. Amen.
Thank you Father Mike I needed to hear this thank you God bless you ,peace into you
Thank you for these kind words father. God bless you
Thank you Father Mike for yet another important reminder.
V F God’s ❤️ is sacred, through his endless mercy May he send his 🕊to re-encounter his 💞 & forgive sins of the past.
Grace of God is sufficient to fulfill his will and read his word.📿
Every Wednesday waiting for this!
Thank you Fr. Mike! One of the adults in my Parish told me that she says "I love You God" when she hears someone say His Name in vain. I started doing this and it also brought a greater awareness to me of how often people say it. Anyway, just a suggestion. God bless you all!🙏
Thank you SO MUCH Fr. Mike for addressing this important issue! My parents always taught me that even saying "oh my God" fell under the 2nd commandment, but I have always wondered if we were the only ones who understood it in this way. It's especially disheartening when priests and pastors use phrases like that...but hey, I guess we're all human. Anyway, thank you for clarifying this matter; I hope this video helps people to understand the incredible POWER of God's name and the tremendous respect that it deserves. ❤ God bless!
Praise be to God. Thank you for this video.
I did it yesterday when l was in traffic. Thank you Fr. for picking my conscience.
Thank you Father. Good bless you
I am *SHOCKED* completely and utterly *SHOCKED* that their are church leaders who would think saying "omg" (but you know the actual words) is actually okay or not a big deal. Wow. Its incredibly sad there are leaders with such scewed views. Thank you for not being one of them and thank you for preaching TRUTH to us.

I’ve been saying “gosh” since I can remember(: As I was a little girl I would always correct my younger cousins on saying “gosh” instead of “God”. Now I’ve been teaching my younger brothers but it’s starting to get hard as they are constantly on their iPads hearing the name of the lord being abused ):
keep them off the technology!
Well, it may get worse. I heard somewhere once (not from a priest, but this one sounded believable to me) that using the normal substitutes (gosh, dang, etc.) was also sinful, because in our hearts we were actually translating from the Lord's name. That is actually a good question to run by a priest sometime.
@@paulmiller3469 I was taught by a Priest that those substitutions were just as sinful as using our Lord name in vain.
@@tonyneises5195 Sigh, was afraid that might be the answer. Thanks, Tony.
My friend did that to me too. At first I was annoyed because she kept interrupting me. But now I'm aware and grateful for that friend.
Literally breaks my heart when I hear it. ☹️
Thank you father. Very valuable.
Thank you. I'd been working on breaking the habit of saying Oh My God, when a priest told me it wasn't a sin because that's not God's name. I'd gone back to saying it but in truth it never felt right. You've inspired me to try again. There's no denying your logic on the issue!
Thank you Father god bless you 🙏
Beautiful talk. I like to bow my head at the name of Jesus Christ in reverence to Him. Also when someone takes the Lord’s name in vain around me I say a little prayer to Mary Help of All Christians that they would stop doing that. It is a way for me to have even more reverence of the name of the most Holy Trinity during my day. Thanks again Father for this most needed talk.
Thank you Father Mike! Absolutely wonderful video... about a title that is incredibly underestimated. So glad you’ve talked about it.
Amen!!!! Thank you!!! God Bless
I agree with you I say all the time when I talk to God like I say oh my god that’s so great because I feel he’s with me all day and all night so I just converse with him throughout the day yes it sounds crazy to Some people but I really believe that our holy father in heaven is always with me throughout the day like today I want walking in the pouring rain and I just had the best time just praying out loud not too loud I don’t want people to think I’m A crazy Lady. in a long Drenched overcoat in all I must’ve looks like a crazy lady but that didn’t matter to me I felt the Holy Spirit and I had the best conversation with my Heavenly Father I just had the best walk in the rain ever it rains here in Washington all the time but yes I do agree with you and thank you for the wonderful video it just made me feel Better and relieved so thank you very much and God bless you 🌸❤️🙏🏼
Thank you! May God Bless you!!!
Beautifully well said. Yes, I am nothing. God is everything. amen.
I have recently started to complete a prayer when someone near me says the Name in vain. If they say J.C. just finish a prayer for them with something like ":Bless us this day". The look you get is priceless. It may help someone who says it without direct intent to profane the Name to think about it. I often, in the rough crowd, seem to use the vocabulary of a drunken sailor, but manage it without taking God's Name in vain. I am working on the other rough language,
Fr. Mike, that was beautiful!!!
And exactly what I needed to hear.
Thank you
Love this! 🙏🏼 Thank you
Thanks, Father Mike! I'm going to share this to my Facebook timeline.
Thank you for this video, perfect timing 😍
it's so sad! I live in Italy and the blasphemies are in common language, you just have to leave the house to hear the worst things. I wish there was common respect
Do the elderly also say blasphemies often or is it more common among the young Italians? It's sad to hear that taking place in "Catholic" Italy.
unfortunately people who are not so much believers anymore. there is a great hatred for the church for several reasons, unfortunately the blasphemies have become a normal thing even among the little ones
@@gaiagolisciani4522 I am part Italian (but speak the language only a little) and understand exactly what you mean! Same like in Italian there is also in my mothertongue Spanish a certain common insult, which is real horrible to hear. Thats another reason to love Latin even more. No text book teaches you bad words!!
@@Mon-qw7ne yeah you are absolutely right I also love Latin for this😂😂 unfortunately, the neo-Latin languages are often full of blasphemies

Preach it, Father Mike!! Say it out louder for the people in the back!! 🙌🙌🙏🙏
Thankyou Fr Mike for this video. Had been disturbed since afternoon about this. I would say Holy Spirit prompted me to look this up and I found this beautiful explanation.💕
So good!!!! I shared on FB. Thank you Father!
Thank you for bringing this sin out in the open! We have forgotten about the 10 commandments that our LORD ask us to keep. They have been thrown away and are out of our lives. It is good to continue to seek after our LORD & SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST and to study His words in the bible. Keep up the good work! May GOD the Father and our LORD, JESUS CHRIST strengthen and preserver you until life everlasting, AMEN!
You are right Father! If other priests disagree with you over this, don't be put off.
This is a great subject, rarely spoken about, as it's crept into our culture so much. How dare we misuse His name. God bless.
Thank you and please for me and my children. I pray for you too.
Great video, thank you Father! I usually say "Dear God" with a sigh when I mean "Dear God help me cope with this situation and keep my calm" or "Dear God why did you give mankind so much freedom to do stupid things".
Thank You for sharing with us such Holy thoughts : I really have appreciated this video so much. Excellent teaching, good pedagogy, ticked all the boxes.

To pursue sexual expression outside of God’s design will lead to sorrow! (Psalm 16:4)
Blessings will be missed and grace will be forfeited when we seek to trust in ourselves and our own strategies for dealing with our sexuality. (Jeremiah 17:5-9)

Metanoia Prayer Room Thank you 😊
Hail Mary, blessed mother of Christ!

YES! We have totally lost a reverence for and a belief in our Lord and creator. Using, saying His name in vain is a huge part of this. It became a really big deal for me after converting, and, as with many things, I have become acutely aware of the misuse of our Lord's name around me. I say a prayer each time I hear it. I recently heard a nun say "Oh my glory" which I think is a really cool exclamation instead. :-)
Thank you so much for this. It is such a challenge to find books, movies and programs without someone taking God's name in vain.
Thank you for this video! What are we to do as Catholics when someone at work is speaking to us directly either a coworker or a customer and they are venting to you and keep using God’s name in vain? What are we and what should we say to say to them? Please, give it a like if you want the Father Mike to answer this question.
Good question!
God blessed me today 😊😊😊
Thanks Father!
Thank you for making this video. Your video brought me to tears bc we have lost so much reverence. 😢
If our Jewish brothers and sisters can’t say His name, then I’m shocked at the use of His name in vain by Catholics-not that I’m perfect but some won’t even see how this is wrong.
God is so good and i have made great milestones in my walk with him yall will to anxiety disorder or not
I've always said oh my gosh since I was little and goodness gracious
God bless my brother
