The director of our Adult Faith Formation recently asked me to facilitate a 7 session class on the Seven Deadly Sins, Seven Lively Virtues (click here) beginning Jan 20 th. This year a new and slightly different opportunity has surfaced at my parish. Past Lenten seasons have been good as I’ve ramped up my prayer life, increased attendance at daily Mass and going to the Sacrament of Confession, and of course giving something up to unify myself with His sacrifice on the Cross.

7 SINS SLOTH HOW TO
It’s also hard to believe that Easter will be celebrated in March!!!Īnyway, with Lent approaching I’ve been spending more and more time reflecting on how to make this Lent an even more intimate encounter with Christ.

This year in particular, Lent begins very early with Ash Wednesday observed on February 10 th. The bad news is that time races on and Lent is literally just around the corner. Lent on the other hand is that time of preparation that just seems easier for me in moving closer to our Lord. Advent is a wonderful time of preparation and Christmas is exciting with the arrival of our Incarnate Lord, but I have to admit to having some difficulties each year getting past the ultra-commercialization and into the spirit of Christmas. Lent is my favorite season of the entire liturgical calendar and it’s just around the corner. On the good news front, the season of Lent is fast approaching. I have good news and some not so good news. Chastity is a Virtue of Character, it is NOT a BehaviorĬontinue reading “7 Deadly Sins – 7 Lively Virtues: Wrap-up”.Lust is a Sin Because It Is Love of Self Instead of Total Self-Giving Love as God Loves.Lust is Treating Another Person not as an End, but Rather as a Means to Personal Pleasure.The Antidote to Gluttony is Fasting: Take Control of Your Physical Desires.Gluttony is a Deadly Sin Since it Replaces the Desire for God with the Desire for Physical Pleasure.Gluttony is the Immoderate Pleasure in Food or Drink.Finally, I’ll provide a summary table to help remember the 7 Sins, the 7 Virtues and how to apply the lessons learned to our daily lives. In this post I’ll give a very quick summary of these two important topics. Because of scheduling constraints, we combined the last two topics namely Gluttony/Fasting and Lust/Chastity into one night. It has been a great seven weeks and I’m going to miss the probing discussions with the group. Last night was the final session of our 7 Deadly Sins – 7 Lively Virtues Adult Faith Formation class at Church.
