What is the Sixth Commandment?

You shall not commit adultery
- God is love and He lives in the personal loving communion. God called us into VOCATION of having the capacity of love and communion. Man and woman were given with the gifts of capacity to love and procreate. They are called for forming bonds of communion with others (cf. CCC 2331 - 2332).

You shall not commit adultery

This communion of man and woman is blessed and strengthened in the Sacrament of Marriage which is living out Gods generosity and fruitfulness. This commandment protects the unity and holiness of marriage and family from the hurt and destructions that are caused by infidelity of husband or wife and the breakup of the family.

Why do the sixth and ninth commandments have to do with our sexuality?
Sexuality is today understood in a more integral sense than in the past when the focus was almost completely on the sex act. Today sexuality signifies being a man or a woman in relationship with others. Sexuality affects all aspects of human person in unity of his body and soul (cf. CCC 2332)

Why do the sixth and ninth commandments have to do with our sexuality?
Sexuality is the very expression in words, language, gestures, and behavior of persons as man and woman. Therefore it is a gift given by God. We may feel uneasy and even embarrass when we are called sexual beings/persons. The reason is we do not know the difference between sexuality and the sex act itself. Sex act is only a physical aspect of our sexuality. God gave the sexuality to us as gift for friendship and relationship in faithfulness and love, and the deepest of which is the Sacrament of Matrimony.

How do we follow the 6th and 9th Commandments?

We Pray to God
Mary, Mother most pure, and Joseph, chaste guardian of the Virgin, to you I entrust the purity of my soul and body. I beg you to plead with God for me that I may never for the remainder of my life soil my soul by any sin of impurity. I earnestly wish to be pure in thought, word and deed in imitation of your own holy purity. Obtain for me a deep sense of modesty, which will be reflected in my external conduct. Protect my eyes, the windows of my soul, from anything that might dim the luster of a heart that must mirror only Christ-like purity. And when the Bread of Angels becomes my food in Holy Communion, seal my heart forever against the suggestions of sinful pleasures. Finally, may I be among the number of those of whom Jesus spoke, Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God. Amen.
