7 Deadly Sins


The 7 Deadly Sins are those transgressions which are fatal to spiritual progress. You probably commit some of them every day without even thinking them. You might be asking yourself, "What are the 7 Deadly Sins?" Well, I am going to tell you: ARE YOU READY?
1. Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.

2. Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.

3. Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.

4. Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.

5. Wrath/Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury.

6. Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual.

7. Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.
