Dignity: The Ninth Commandment There is a lot in our culture that upholds and pro-
motes lifestyles that go against what we believe, and many things that are glorified
do not uphold the dignity of the human person. Purity is not just about the things
we do, but also the things we watch, the things we listen to, and the things we say.
Today at Edge, we will be learning more about the ninth commandment, which calls
us to purity in our hearts and in everything we do.
If you have ques#ons about the middle school youth ministry, please contact Tarcy
Hernandez at [email protected].

February 26th—No Bible Study as it is Ash Wednesday. We will resume gathering
on March 4-all teens welcome—6:30-7:45 p.m. Divine Mercy Room.
In the Gospel today, we hear about how, some#mes,
people can hurt our feelings or do things we don’t
like. Today’s Shine will remind us that Jesus teaches
us to love everyone, just like He does. Even when
someone wrongs us, we must show them the love of
Christ!
