Hey every one! today we had to take a reading assessment. It wasn’t hard at all. Most likely do to the fact that I read all the time on my own. I really don’t got anything more to say. So I will eave u with the Sins. For those that have read the other sin the beginning is just a recap. ~Warning: the next few passages have a reference to the Catholic religion. I warn the now that the Catholic religion is heavy implied in the next passages and u may not know the people/things referred to, I’ll do my bust to go into depth on a few people and things mentioned .~ Seven Deadly Sins Everyone knows the Seven Deadly Sins. But here’s some information about the Sins and what each one really means. First, why are the called the ‘Deadly’ sins? The church made a division between sins which were venial and could be forgiven without the need for the sacrament of Confession and those which were capital and merited damnation. Capital or Deadly Sins were so called because they could have a fatal effect on an individual’s spiritual health. British wall paintings stressed the connection between committing the Deadly Sins and ending up in Hell. Next, why Seven sins? After three, seven is the number of greatest religious significance in ancient Judaism. God made the world in six days and rested on the seventh, hallowing it. The number seven consequently had connotations of completeness or perfection. It was also significant in the Ancient World, associated with the seven planets, the seven ages of man and the Seven Wonders of the World. Given its prominence in Jewish and Antique thought, it is not surprising that it retained its significance in the early Church. The Seven Deadly Sins became one of a number of important groups of seven current in the medieval church, for example, the Seven canonical hours, the Seven petitions of the Lord’s Prayer, the Seven Joys and Seven Sorrows of the Virgin and, of course, the Seven Corporal Works of Mercy. Last, the Sin of the day is. . . Sloth Sin is considered on of the flesh. Usually it is represented by scenes of falling asleep on the job, especially if the job is being performed by a monk. When in a state of Sloth, negligence and apathy soon set in Thomas Aquinas wrote that all sins that are due to ignorance are due to Sloth. One needs to be awake and alert to even begin to set out on, and maintain, a spiritual practice, thus the opposing virtue is Diligence. Punishment in Hell: Thrown into snake pits. Associated symbols: Sloth is linked with the goat and the color light blue. |  Belphegor is the Demon of Sloth Seducer of humans To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wildflower... hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour... ~silverdragon~ |
