“I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. “You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me, and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. “You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. You shall labor six days, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy. “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you. “You shall not murder. “You shall not commit adultery. “You shall not steal. “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

It is the fundamental task and duty of every man and woman to discover the truth. Jesus enlightens us only when we come to recognize the truth. It is the truth that sets us free (cf. Jn 8: 32). Without truth there is no freedom, but enslavement. The organs of the mass media — radio, press, TV, Internet — have the great mission of serving the truth, seeking it, and making it known to the public. In his homily of June 6, 1991, Pope John Paul II cautioned the members of the media against being drawn into the service of falsehood. He appealed to them to take special responsibility for their words, for these ought to testify to the truth and express concern and love for mankind. Alas, all too often the communications media are engaged in a concerted distortion of the truth about the human person, about God, the Church, and her teachings. The legalized killing of unborn children, euthanasia, divorce, contraception, homosexual unions, in vitro fertilization, marital infidelity, de facto marriages, etc. are so speciously presented by the media as to create the impression that their acceptance represents a good and a sign of progress. All this is one great deception by the powers of evil. John Paul II warned: “The communications media can become a means of violence, if there stands behind them another violence, which need not be physical. Another kind of violence. Another kind of power....That is the outlook of our times: between the freedom, which Christ constantly extends to us, and rejection of Christ” (June 6, 1991).

To live the truth means to enjoy a personal relationship with Christ through daily prayer, reception of the sacraments of penance and the Eucharist, and living out His teachings. Jesus said: “If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (Jn 8: 31b-32). Let us not allow ourselves to be enslaved by the lies artfully prepared by the enemies of man, Christ, and the Church.
