“Loving Father, my focus is fickle. It drifts away from you again and again, no matter how hard I try. I want to live for you, and I want to keep my eyes on you, but I cannot do it without you. I ask for your mercy and your grace. I ask for your Holy Spirit to stand in the gaps. Help me to fix my eyes on you, and thank you for your promise to do it. Amen.”

“The sixth deadly sin is named by the church acedia or sloth. In the world it calls itself tolerance; but in hell it is called despair. It is the accomplice of the other sins and their worst punishment. It is the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, loves nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive only because there is nothing it would die for. We have known it far too well for many years. The only thing perhaps that we have not known about it is that it is a mortal sin.”
