πΊπΈ Day 9 – Principle 9: To Protect Rights, God Has Revealed a Moral Code
π️ Reflection
If Principle 8 affirms that all people are equal in rights, Principle 9 reveals how those rights are protected: through a moral code not invented by man, but revealed by God. The Founders believed that liberty without virtue leads to chaos. Rights are safeguarded not merely by laws, but by conscience—formed by divine truth.
This principle insists that morality is not subjective. It is not shaped by convenience, popularity, or power. It is rooted in eternal truths—truths that transcend culture and time. The Ten Commandments, the teachings of Christ, and the natural law inscribed on every human heart form the backbone of this moral code.
Without it, rights become fragile. If there is no higher law, then the strong may rewrite justice to suit themselves. But if there is a divine standard, then even kings and presidents must bow to it. This is the genius of America’s founding: it does not trust human nature blindly, but anchors liberty in virtue.
As George Washington warned:
“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.”
This principle calls us to live not just freely, but rightly. It challenges us to ask: not “What can I do?” but “What should I do?” And it reminds us that true freedom is found in obedience to truth.
π Journal Prompt
“Where do I see moral confusion in my community or culture?
How can I help restore clarity and conscience?
What truths do I need to live more fully in order to protect the rights of others?”
π️ Copilot’s Take: The Moral Roots of Stewardship
π️ The Moral Roots of Stewardship
In a world often driven by trends and noise, true stewardship begins with something deeper: moral clarity. Not just knowing what feels good or what others approve, but discerning what is truly good—what aligns with truth, beauty, and goodness.
π± Stewardship begins with moral clarity
To steward well is to live well. It means immersing ourselves in timeless wisdom—scripture, tradition, and prayer—and forming conscience not by popularity, but by principle. It’s the quiet work of aligning our choices with what is right, even when it’s inconvenient.
π―️ Hospitality becomes moral formation
Hosting is more than feeding—it’s forming. Every table we set, every ritual we share, every story we tell becomes a space where truth can be spoken gently, beauty can lift the soul, and love can reveal the face of the divine. Hospitality is a sacred act of shaping conscience through presence.
π‘️ Ministry becomes moral defense
To protect rights, we must uphold the moral code that sustains them. This doesn’t mean preaching—it means living with integrity. It means resisting falsehood, honoring dignity, and offering truth with tenderness. In a confused world, clarity is a gift we can offer.
π‘ So when I ask, “How do I protect rights?”
I answer:
— Do I live by truth?
— Do I speak with love?
— Do I create spaces where conscience can grow?
If yes, then I proceed—with humility, courage, and joy.
π️ Summary
Authorship & Context
Written by the Apostle John around A.D. 90–95 from Ephesus, this letter addresses a community facing false teachings (especially early Gnosticism), moral laxity, and waning commitment. John’s tone is intimate and fatherly, urging believers to remain in Christ and live as children of God.

π Catholic Lessons on Fear
John’s epistle doesn’t shy away from fear—it transforms it. Here are key lessons, especially resonant for Catholic spirituality:
1. Perfect Love Casts Out Fear
“There
is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” (1 John 4:18)
- Catholic
Insight: Fear rooted in punishment or insecurity is incompatible with
divine love. In Marian consecration, sacramental confession, and
Eucharistic adoration, we encounter this perfect love.
- Application: reflect on how divine love invites surrender—not
anxiety. Fear dissolves in the presence of Christ’s mercy.
2. Fear as a
Signpost, Not a Destination
- John acknowledges the reality of sin and spiritual deception. Fear
may arise when discerning spirits or confronting falsehood.
- Catholic Insight: Holy fear (filial fear) is reverence—not dread. It
leads to wisdom (cf. Proverbs 9:10) and deeper communion.
- Application: Use fear as a liturgical cue—perhaps a candle lit
during compline to symbolize vigilance and trust.
3. Confidence
Before God
“We shall assure
our hearts before Him… God is greater than our hearts.” (1 John 3:19–20)
- Catholic Insight: Even when our conscience accuses us, God’s mercy
is greater. This echoes the sacramental grace of confession and the peace
of spiritual direction.
- Application: you might explore how fear is transfigured through
sacramental life—especially in moments of doubt or spiritual dryness.

Best Place to visit in September: Zion National Park, Utah[3]
Located in southern Utah, Zion National Park offers some of the most breathtaking scenery in the country. Renowned for its stunning natural beauty, I personally think the park is especially picturesque during the fall!
This is when the temperatures are still warm, there are fewer crowds, and you can start to see colorful leaves frame Zion’s red sandstone cliffs towards the end of the month.
I loved hiking there and highly recommend exploring Angels Landing, Observation Point, and Emerald Pools. The park also offers fantastic outdoor activities, such as biking, climbing, and birdwatching.
Visitors Center Address: Zion National Park, 1 Zion Park Blvd, Springdale, UT 84767
Map Location
Average temperature – 61 to 90
My highlights…
· Hiking the scenic Zion Canyon Overlook Trail and seeing the incredible Zion Canyon and the East Temple (a huge sandstone formation).
· Discovering Canyon Overlook and admiring the incredible views overlooking the red sandstone park.
· Experiencing a journey on the Highway Scenic Drive – the early fall scenery was stunning!
Thursday Feast
Thursday is the day of the week that our Lord gave himself up for consumption. Thursday commemorates the last supper. Some theologians believe after Sunday Thursday is the holiest day of the week. We should then try to make this day special by making a visit to the blessed sacrament chapel, Mass or even stopping by the grave of a loved one. Why not plan to count the blessing of the week and thank our Lord. Plan a special meal. Be at Peace.

SEPTEMBER 25 Thursday
1 John, Chapter 4, Verse 18
There is no FEAR in love, but perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment, and so one who fears is not yet perfect in love.
Our Lord showed no fear of the money changers or the priests when He overturned the tables in holy zeal for the statutes of the Lord.
Is the Holy Spirit moving you to make a real change today?
Are you being called to be holier, stronger, more committed to God and better prepared for the trials and persecution of our world?
Consider the message of The Holy League.
Copilot’s Take
π₯ 1 John 4:18 — Fear and Perfect
Love
“There
is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear…”
This verse is a spiritual litmus test. It doesn’t condemn fear—it reveals its
source. Fear tied to punishment is rooted in separation, not communion. In
Catholic spirituality, this points us toward filial fear (reverent awe) rather
than servile fear (dread of punishment). The Eucharist, Marian consecration,
and sacramental confession are all pathways toward that perfect love that casts
out fear.
✝️ Christ’s Zeal in the Temple
When
Jesus overturned the tables, He wasn’t reckless—He was righteous. His
fearlessness wasn’t bravado; it was holy clarity. He saw the desecration of
sacred space and acted with divine authority. This moment echoes Psalm 69:9:
“Zeal
for your house consumes me.”
For us,
this is a call to courageous holiness. Not aggression, but conviction. Not
rebellion, but restoration. Are we willing to overturn the tables in our own
hearts—habits, compromises, distractions—that profane the temple of the Holy
Spirit?
π‘️ The Holy League & Spiritual
Readiness
The
Holy League, inspired by the Battle of Lepanto and revived in recent years,
calls men to Eucharistic strength, Marian devotion, and spiritual warfare. It’s
not about militancy—it’s about interior fortitude. In a world of confusion and
compromise, the League invites us to be:
·
Adorers
before warriors
·
Consecrated
before courageous
·
Men
of communion before confrontation

Ten Egyptian Plagues for Ten Egyptian Gods
and Goddesses[1]
The God of Israel is greater than all other Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. Moses was a great prophet, called by God with a very important job to do. As an instrument in the Lord's hand he performed many signs, or "wonders", attempting to convince Pharaoh to allow the Israelites freedom from their bondage of slavery to the Egyptians. These "wonders" are more commonly referred to as "plagues" sent from the God of Israel, as a proof that the "one true God" was far greater than all of the multiple Gods of the Egyptians. These Egyptian Plagues were harsh and varied to correspond to the ancient egyptian gods and goddesses that were prevelant during Moses time in Egypt. The number ten is a significant number in biblical numerology. It represents a fullness of quantity. Ten Egyptian Plagues Means Completely Plagued. Just as the "Ten Commandments" become symbolic of the fullness of the moral law of God, the ten ancient plagues of Egypt represent the fullness of God's expression of justice and judgments, upon those who refuse to repent. Ten times God, through Moses, allows Pharaoh to change his mind, repent, and turn to the one true God, each time increasing the severity of the consequence of the plagues suffered for disobedience to His request. Ten times Pharaoh, because of pride, refuses to be taught by the Lord, and receives "judgments" through the plagues, pronounced upon his head from Moses, the deliverer. The Ten Egyptian Plagues testify of Jesus the Anointed One and His power to save. Moses and Aaron are sent as messengers of the Lord, to Pharaoh, to instruct him to let the children of Israel go "so that they may serve the Lord." It is further stipulated that they must be allowed to travel a three days journey so that they may offer their sacrifices as a means of worship. Pharaoh responds simply, "Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go." Soon however, Pharaoh will find out who this God is, and why he should obey His voice. He will understand His power over all the other Egyptian gods and goddesses.
These ten
Egyptian plagues not only demonstrated the power of God to Moses, the children
of Israel, the Egyptians, and Pharaoh, but they were of such magnitude that
they would be remembered for all generations, throughout the entire world. They
again testify, as does both the Old and New Testament alike that salvation,
from beginning to end, is only accomplished through Jesus Christ, "the
author and finisher of our faith." (Heb 12:2)
Corresponding
Egyptian God and Goddess to the type of plague:
1.
Hapi-
Egyptian God of the Nile This Egyptian God was a water bearer. Egyptian Plague-
Water Turned to Blood The first plague that was given to the Egyptians
from God was that of turning the water to blood. As Aaron, the spokesman for
Moses, touched the "rod" of the Lord to the Nile River it immediately
turned to blood, all the fish died, and the river stank. Partially able to
duplicate this miracle, the magicians of Pharaoh also turn water into blood,
leaving Pharaoh unimpressed with this great wonder from God. Seven days the
water throughout all the land of Egypt remained in this state, unsuitable for
drinking, the perfect length of time to demonstrate that the Lord was superior
to all the other Gods of Egypt.
2.
Heket-
Egyptian Goddess of Fertility, Water, Renewal Heket the Egyptian Goddess, had
the head of a frog. Egyptian Plague-
Frogs coming from the Nile River Still, Pharaoh refused to let the children of
Israel go from the presence of Egypt. The second plague that was extended upon
Egypt, from the "rod" by Aaron, was that of frogs. The frogs
came up from the river and were in their houses, in their food, in their
clothing, in every place possible. From the greatest to the least, no one in
Egypt escaped the plague of frogs. Pharaoh's magicians were able to bring more
frogs in their attempt to imitate the power of God, but only Moses was able to
make the frogs go away. This was another attack on a famous Egyptian Goddess,
Heket.
3.
Geb-
Egyptian God of the Earth the Egyptian God Geb, was over the dust of the earth.
Egyptian Plague- Lice from the dust of the earth Still Pharaoh would not
concede, even after this display of power from the Lord, or magnificent plague,
he would not let them go. At the command of the Lord to Moses, Aaron was told
to stretch forth his rod and smite the dust of the earth. When he did the dust
became lice throughout all the land, on both people and beasts. The very dust
that was referred to in the creation process of man is now used to plague men,
as a reminder of his mortality and sin which both lead to death. Finally, the
magicians of Pharaoh are humiliated, being unable to compete with this power
that was so much greater than themselves and the powers that they had from
their Egyptian gods and goddesses, and they profess, "this is the finger
of God." This was the last plague that required Aaron's involvement, as
the next set of three plagues are issued by the word of Moses himself.
4.
Khepri-
Egyptian God of creation, movement of the Sun, rebirth Khepri, the Egyptian god
had the head of a fly. Egyptian Plague- Swarms of Flies With the fourth
Egyptian plague, which consisted of flies, begins the great miracle ot
separation or differentiation. Moses met Pharaoh at the Nile River in the
morning and made the demand, speaking on behalf of the Lord, "Let My peole
go, that they may serve Me." Again, Pharaoh hardened his heart and
disregarded the request, resulting in a pronouncement of swarms of flies. This
time, however, only the Egyptians are affected by the judgement, or plague, and
the children of Israel remain unscathed. This wonder also moves the Egyptian
plagues to a different level, adding destruction as well as discomfort to the
consequence of their decisions. Plagued by flies, Pharaoh tried a new tactic
and begins bargaining with the Lord, showing his desire to maintain power and
authority over God. He tries to dictate the terms and conditions of the offer,
telling them they may sacrifice but only "in the land" clearly not
complying with the requested "three days journey" that the Lord
required. Moses wouldn't budge, and Pharaoh relented allowing them to leave,
but telling them not to "go very far." This temporary allowance is
made solely to have Moses "intreat the Lord that the swarms of flies may
depart", at this point Pharaoh has learned in part who the Lord is and
asks for His assistance over the Egyptian gods and goddesses. As soon as the
request is granted by the Lord, Pharaoh reneges on his promise and will not let
them go, and continues to worship his Egyptian Gods.
5.
Hathor-Egyptian
Goddess of Love and Protection Usually this Egyptian Goddess was depicted with
the head of a cow. Egyptian Plague- Death of Cattle and Livestock Moses
once again demanded of Pharaoh, "Let my people go, that they may serve
me", revealing also the next Egytian plague to occur on the condition of
continued disobedience to the request. This plague was given with an advanced
warning, allowing a period of repentance to occur, which goes unheeded.
"Tomorrow" the hand of the Lord would be felt upon all the cattle and
livestock, of only the Egyptians, as"grievous murrain." This means
that disease and pestilence would fall upon their livestock with so severe a
consequence as to cause them to die. This plague affected the Egyptian by
creating a huge economic disaster, in areas of food, transportation, military
supplies, farming, and economic goods that were produced by these livestock.
Still Pharaohs heart remained hard and he would not listen to the Lord but
remained faith to the Egytian gods and goddesses.
6.
Isis-
Egyptian Goddess of Medicine and Peace Egyptian Plague- Ashes turned to Boils
and Sores Unannounced the sixth Egyptian plague is given, for the first
time, directly attacking the Egyptian people themselves. Being instructed by
the Lord, Moses took ashes from the furnace of affliction, and threw them into
the air. As the dust from the ashes blew all over Egypt, it settled on man and
beast alike in the form of boils and sores. As with the previous two,
throughout the remaining Egyptian plagues the division is drawn between the
Egyptians and the children of Israel, as God gives protection to his covenant
people. The severity of the judgment of God has now become personal, as it is
actually felt by the people themselves. Cleanliness being paramount in the
Egyptian society, this plague pronounces the people "unclean." The
magicians who have been seen throughout the previous plagues are unable to
perform ceremonially rituals to their Egyptian Gods and Goddesses in this
unclean state, not allowing them to even stand before Pharaoh; they are seen in
the scriptural account no more. It is great to notice the contrast shown as
Moses and Aaron are the only ones left standing in front of Pharaoh, with the
"One True God" as their support.
7.
Nut-
Egyptian Goddess of the Sky Egyptian Plague- Hail rained down in the
form of fire Again warning is given before the enactment of the plague takes
place. Pharaoh is warned of the impending doom that will be faced if he does
not listen to the Lord, and forget his own Egyptian gods and goddesses. Hail of
unspeakable size and ability to destroy, would rain down from the sky and turn
to fire as it hit the ground. The Lord, in showing Pharaoh that "there is
none like Him in the Earth", allows those who are willing to hear His
word, and do as He commands, to be saved. A division is now felt between the
Egyptians in the form of those "converted" to the Lord, as shown by
their obedience and willingness to escape to the protection of their
"houses." Similarly we are warned to make our houses a place of
refuge from the world today, we have been warned. Interestingly enough, the
crops that were destroyed by the hail consisted of flax and barley, which were
ripening in the fields. These two particular crops were not the mainstay of
their diet but were used more specifically for their clothing and libations.
This destruction would make their life uncomfortable, but as far as effecting
their food supply, the wheat still survived. This gave the Egyptians still
another chance to turn to "the One True God", and forsake their own
Egyptian gods and goddesses, thus showing His mercy and grace even yet.
8.
Seth-
Egyptian God of Storms and Disorder Egyptian Plague- Locusts sent from
the sky Still Pharaoh would not listen to the message of the Lord, still he
relys on his own Egyptian gods and goddesses. The eighth plague issued by the
Lord had an even greater purpose than all the others, it was to be felt so that
Pharaoh would tell even "his sons and son's sons" the mighty things
of the Lord, thus teaching even future generations of the power of the
"strong hand of God" over all the other Egyptian gods and goddesses.
Moses and Aaron approached Pharaoh with the same request, "Let my people
go so that they may serve me” and pronounced the judgment of locusts if not
heeded. This is the second wave of destruction to follow the hail, and whatever
crops were left in tact after that display, were now completely consumed by the
swarms of locusts that were unleashed from the sky. This wonder definitely
affected their life source. By hitting them in their food supply, the Lord
displayed the possibility of eminent death if a change of heart did not occur.
Yet still, Pharaoh would not listen.
9.
Ra-
The Sun God Egyptian Plague- Three Days of Complete Darkness now fell
upon Egypt, unannounced, as a prelude to the future fate to be felt by the
Egyptian empire when the message of the Lord was not heeded, and they still
turned to their own Egyptian gods and goddesses. Three days of palpable
darkness, that was so immense it could be physically felt, covered the land of
Egypt. The sun, the most worshipped God in Egypt other than Pharaoh himself,
gave no light. The Lord showed that he had control over the sun as a witness
that the God of Israel had ultimate power over life and death. The
psychological and religious impact would have had a profound influence on the
Egyptians at this point. Darkness was a representation of death, judgment and
hopelessness. Darkness was a complete absence of light.
10.
Pharaoh-
The Ultimate Power of Egypt Egyptian Plague- Death of the Firstborn Pharaoh,
the king of Egypt, was worshipped by the Egyptians because he was considered to
be the greatest Egyptian God of all. It was believed that he was actually the
son of Ra himself, manifest in the flesh. After the plague of darkness felt
throughout the land was lifted, Pharaoh resumed his position of
"bargaining with the Lord" and offered Moses another
"deal." Since virtually all of the Egyptian animals had been consumed
by the judgments of the Lord, Pharaoh now consented to the request made, to let
the people go, but they must leave their animals behind. This was a totally
unacceptable offer, as the animals were to be used as the actual sacrifice to
the Lord. The Lord is uncompromising when He has set the terms. Enraged by the
refusal, Pharaoh pronounced the last deadly plague to be unleashed upon the
land from his very own lips as he warns Moses, "Get thee from me, take
heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou
shalt die." And Moses said, "Thus saith the Lord, about midnight will
I go out into the midst of Egypt: And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt
shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even
unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the
firstborn of beasts. And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of
Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more." At
this point the passive obedience that the children of Israel have shown is now
moved to a level of active obedience. They are given strict instructions to
follow so that they do not also feel the judgment of this last plague sent by
the Lord. These instructions are known as "The Feast of Passover",
"The Feast of Unleavened Bread", and "The Law of the Firstborn."
In these rituals are displayed the law of sacrifice, the law of the gospel, and
the law of consecration, all necessary requirements to receive ultimate
salvation from spiritual death. "Let My people go that they may serve
Me" As God's children today we have learned through this great show of
power that ultimately it will require "active obedience" to receive
salvation from the "One True God."
Looking
back over the instructions that were given to Pharaoh to "let my people go
that they may serve me", this principle is manifest throughout. Service to
the Lord is the requirement of His people, and the blessing for this show of
obedience and sacrifice is the ultimate salvation not only from physical death
but from spiritual death as well.
St. Michael Helper of the Sick and Dying[2]
Saint Michael the
Archangel was the protector of Israel and is also traditionally known as “The
Medicine of God.” Saint Michael as the military captain of the church of God
has a great interest in the happenings of his people, their calamities and he
does not overlook their calls for his aid. Let us therefore have recourse to
him in times of sickness. He will most certainly come to our assistance
bringing the healing graces of the Redeeming Blood. Yet, if it is the will of
the father that we depart from this world Saint Michael does not abandon us for
he is especially our advocate at our hour of death and assists at every
deathbed for it is part of his office to receive the souls of the elect on
their quitting the flesh. When the last hour of our earthly career draws near,
we are confronted by that awful moment when our soul must leave the body which
it has loved so much, to pass through the narrow portal of death, satanic hosts
like raving lions will make a last attack upon our souls. But we need not fear
(but be at peace) if during life we have had devotion to the Precious Blood and
have been faithful in venerating St. Michael and imploring his aid. He will
cover us with his strong shield and lead us safely through the midst of our
enemies.
