  • Antidotes for Male Teenage Sloth: May 15, 2023 | Phillip Campbell. “Sloth is generally defined as laziness. But it is not mere laziness; it is a preference for ease and comfort, a reluctance to do hard things.…It is often accompanied by indifference or boredom. Sloth is a disposition towards whatever is easy and comfortable — it is a habitual preference for the path of least resistance.”
  • Fighting Acedia: Choosing God at All Times (Simply Catholic). “Acedia is the…way of talking about sloth. But it is much more than a simple laziness or lack of desire to do anything worthwhile. It is an infliction of the soul that attacks desire: we listen to it and become unable to follow through on our intentions. Because we don’t act on intentions, we feel dull, numb and spiritual dead. To put the definition in a more pithy fashion: acedia creates in us the inability to choose the good.
  • “What We Believe Series” by Father Joshua J. Whitfield from SIMPLY CATHOLIC.
