VIDEO: Sloth & Zeal / Avarice & Generosity
Bishop Barron’s series on The Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Lively Virtues continues with two showings per day at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. in the Library. This will be our Lenten Adult Formation Series in preparation for Parish Lenten Reconciliation.
We’ll feature a NEW video each week, including:
- MAR 6: Sloth & Zeal / Avarice & Generosity
- MAR 13: Gluttony & Asceticism / Lust & Chastity
Join Bishop Robert Barron for this engaging presentation concerning the seven deadly sins, those great spiritual blocks that inhibit our flourishing in relationship with God and one another. Based on Dante’s writings, the seven deadly sins correspond to the seven stories of Dante’s Mt. Purgatory. Pride, envy, anger, sloth, gluttony, avarice and lust are all presented as patterns of dysfunction within us that lead to unhappiness.
However, Bishop Barron shows us how to counteract these seven sinful patterns through a conscious process of opposition, which are the “seven lively virtues.” The seven lively virtues offer antidotes to each sin and help set us on the right path to healing and happiness.
