Today is day 309 and we are studying The Sixth Commandment.
309. Why does God prohibit murder?
Because every human being is made in God’s image, all human life
is sacred, from conception to natural death. Therefore, I may not
take the life of others unjustly. (Genesis 9:6; Deuteronomy 19:4–13;
Psalm 94:1–7; Isaiah 46:3–4; Romans 12:19–21)
We will conclude today by praying Prayer 43. For Social Justice found on page 659 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
