Under Sloth we understand the sin of Omission. This vice nestles itself in our will and in our minds. This is a very dangerous vice that can hinder our path to eternal life.
This bad habit will cause that we end up doing nothing, even when we pray! We will pray without any attention or devotion.
Proverbs 10:26 tells us how incredibly nasty a lazy person can be for her/his employer. A lazy person is even compared with vinegar!
We must yearn to live in Grace! We must be honest and open ourselves to God!
If you know you are a lazy person, don't stay in that lifestyle! Let's take good notice of this fact: laziness weakens all the effects of the Sacraments. Laziness is the father of all vices!
Let's avoid the bad habit of laziness, because it hinders us to appreciate our salvation! Ask Jesus everyday to help you to be generous in giving yourself to others.
Possessing Love, you will obtain Good Will and Wisdom.
Remember: the devil never has respected the Will of God! And he will do his utmost for us too to disobey God's Will! So let us not underestimate the destructive power of Sloth, for the end of the road of this vice is eternal damnation!
My dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, I invite you to open your Bible, look for the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 25. Read it completely and afterwards ask our Lord to make us worthy to receive His Kingdom.
