“Today, we will address the Eighth Commandment – ‘Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor’. The sins of calumny and detraction profane this Commandment. The soul who is not consecrated to the Truth transgresses this Eighth Commandment, for his heart is uncharitable and his speech follows suit. Many a soul, community and nation have been destroyed by untruthful tongues.”
“Holy Love must stand guard over the heart. In this way, Truth in speech is preserved. The soul who thinks charitably will not be tempted to speak uncharitably. The soul who succumbs to transgression of the Eighth Commandment must be convicted in the Truth in order to repent.”
