This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for.

Today, we meditate on the deadly sin of slav. When I ask

Christians what their ultimate goal is, most say to get to heaven, like it's just a destination

or the final stage of life.

But scripture and the catechism teach us it's much more that heaven primarily means to be like God. Jesus

said it's to be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect to be holy to be a saint. The deadly sin of sloth is to have an aversion to this

high calling, to dislike it. Sloth is a sorrow or boredom with the spiritual life which results in a spiritual

apathy. It's when you hear people say I'm not really a religious person.

Sloth is not liking religion or prayer or growing in virtue or learning and talking about God.

We all know this feeling.

The feeling that prayer is meh,

that laying down your life of your family is meh,

that heroism and holiness and love are all me

but if we act on that feeling the result isn't what we ordinarily mean by

laziness it it's much, much worse. It's the rejection of the only things

that make life worth living.

Our father who arts in heaven, hallow would be your name,

Thy kingdom come, they will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
