info_outlineIn this powerful episode of The Catholic Files with Fr. Donnelly, we press deeper into the very heart of God’s law as revealed through the Ten Commandments divine words that shape our lives and souls. This is Part Three of our stirring series, and today, Fr. Donnelly turns our hearts toward the profound gravity of the Third Commandment: “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” With fiery conviction and pastoral urgency, Fr. Donnelly reveals the sacredness of the Holy Name a name not to be tossed carelessly into casual speech, but to be spoken with trembling reverence and love.
Why does the Catechism insist on such deep respect for God’s name? Because names hold power and His Name holds infinite power, majesty, and mercy. In a world that so often trivializes the sacred and mocks what is holy, this episode is a bold call to awaken our souls to rediscover the awe, the honor, and the fear of the Lord that once marked the speech of the faithful. It’s a call to sanctify our tongues, to let our words reflect our worship, and to never forget that the Name we bear on our lips is the Name before which every knee will one day bow. Whether in moments of prayer, songs of praise, or the everyday conversations we carry, we are summoned to speak with reverence for we speak of the Holy One.
"You shall not take the name of the LORD, your God, in vain. For the LORD will not leave unpunished the one who takes his name in vain" - Exodus 20:7
