St. Joseph
The central theme of the Ten Commandments can be summed up in one word – love. I would also add respect. We respect not only our parents, but our neighbors near and far. We respect them with honor and kindness. We must listen to others and respect differences in beliefs and opinions. The Ten Commandments on a sign hung from the wall of any classroom means nothing if we don’t love and respect each other. I don’t want our children and grandchildren to look at a sign and later learn it caused yet another division in their country.
