Seventh: “You shall not steal.” We respect what belongs to others. That means not taking things, returning what we borrow, not cheating, being fair in games and work, and fixing or paying for what we damage.
This commandment also asks us to care for creation. God gave the earth to all people, including those who will live after us, and we must treat animals kindly.
God's gifts are meant for everyone, so this commandment also calls us to love the poor and share with people in need.
Tenth: “You shall not covet your neighbor's goods.” Envy is being sad or angry about what others have. It can steal our joy before we ever take anything!
Jesus said: Don't store up treasure on earth, where moths and rust destroy, but treasure in heaven. A grateful, generous heart is truly rich.
