This 1st Commandment, in proclaiming the Lordship of

one true God, expresses this duty of worship.

Worship – recognition of God’s Lordship expressed in filial devotion and service.

The First Commandment fosters all the elements of the

virtue of religion:

•Adoration – the first act of the virtue of religion. To adore God is to acknowledge, in respect and absolute submission, the “nothingness of the creature” who would not exist but for God.

•Prayer – indispensable condition for being able to obey God’s commandments.

•Sacrifice – a sign of adoration and gratitude, supplication and communion.

•Faith – believing without doubting whatever God has revealed.

SUPERSTITION- Is the deviation of religious

feeling and of the practices- It is an irrational, but usually

deep-seated belief in the magical effects of a specific action or ritual, especially in the likelihood that good or bad luck will result from performing it.

Idolatry- Does not only refer to false

pagan worship.- Idolatry consists of divinizing

what is not God.- Substitution of someone or

something for God.- Idolatry is vividly portrayed in the

Biblical story of the “Golden Calf”

Magic and Sorcery or Witchcraft

All practices of magic and sorcery by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one’s service and have supernatural power even if this were for the sake of restoring their health are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion.

Page 32: First commandment

These practices are in fact more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, and especially when they have recourse to the intervention of demons.

Wearing charms is also reprehensible.

Spiritism often implies divination or magical practice.
