Father. We must not excessively worry about our

daily needs because God the Father knows what we need. Thus, we should not be more selfish with what we have for

CCC 2404).

of handling relationships with others as regards properties and

possessions.

The seventh commandment

focuses on the acts and outward results of one’s greediness -

that is, taking the possessions and

properties of others. We should respect public properties

and facilities.

The tenth commandment focuses more on the inward act or desire of the heart to get more possessions

which can result to stealing.

IN SUMMARY

DIFFERENCES

The seventh and tenth commandments remind us to respect God’s creation.

Plants, animals, and other natural resources are meant for the good of

everyone including the future generations. Thus, the use of natural resources should be limited by our

concern for others and for the future generations (cf. CCC 2415).
