Day 348. How does keeping this commandment help you to become like Christ? (2025)

Today is day 348 and we are studying The Ninth Commandment.

348. How does keeping this commandment help you to become like Christ?

By practicing love and truthfulness in speech, I grow in self-restraint, kindness, and honesty, so that I may know God with a mind free of deception, praise him with an undefiled tongue, and more truly love my neighbor. (Proverbs 8:1–17; Matthew 15:10–20; Ephesians 5:1–4; James 3:1–12)

We will conclude today by praying Proper 27 found on page 622 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
