The Old Law is the first stage of revealed Law. Its moral prescriptions are
summed up in the Ten Commandments. the precepts of the Decalogue lay the
foundations for the vocation of man fashioned in the image of God; they

essential to it. the Decalogue is a light offered to the conscience of every
man to make God’s call and ways known to him and to protect him against evil:
