I find in North America we can sometimes have a 'gluttony' towards work. As you say, Father, we are always doing, doing, doing ... often to the detriment of our health and our spiritual life. Sometimes we work like this because we think to ourselves that we don't want to be "lazy". But so often it is unbalanced and we need to slow down from an obsession with non-stop activity to stop to pray, reflect, and rest in a healthy (not lazy) way.
I have felt this is by design in US anyway. In the 80’s they glorified and admired constant work. So they got that into the American ethos (right word ?). They also started showing on tv shows and movies basically child worship. Over doing it so to speak. George Carlin had this in one of his bits and at was right on. and what came with this was showing kids saying things to their parents and demanding things that would have gotten me knocked out for a week. So you have overworked parents who at the same time are basically kissing the a$) of the kids in a large scale NOT ALL PARENTS. We have a lot of entitled people in our country now and it sucks. And the greedy corporations have people willing to work 2-3 jobs for minimal pay and supposed to feel lucky to do it even though they can still barely pay rent but food etc. While I’m on this soap box how they allowed cell phones to be used everywhere all the time is beyond me. Meaning movers using cell phone while moving your stuff, and in medical areas where you should not be using them. You should be Focusing and working . Managers and a lot of regular workers all of a sudden are on call 24/7. Meaning you can be contacted and asked a question at ANYTIME. That’s sick and unhealthy. I really wanted to articulate this much better but my brain isn’t firing here . I hope you see what I mean.

Please pray for me, Father! I have become very lazy in multiple facets of my life. I have spoken with multiple healthcare and mental health professionals, and they have categorized this as a depression. I don’t deny this illness exists, but I firmly believe my personal maladies are spiritually based. This talk was very humbling. Pray for me against discouragement. God bless you all 🙏🏻
Thank you father! ❤ I was just praying to God an hour ago for help with my procrastination and laziness, and here this video pops up in my feed ❤ How loved and cared for I am in my Lords hands ❤🙌🏻❤️ I live in the USA but I have trouble with physical laziness rather than spiritual at this time in my life. After a lot of trauma and the darkest period of my life I completely crumbled and now am really struggling to get back to living. I have been hungry for spiritual growth and getting closer with God, and want to fix my life and honor him. I really needed to hear this, thank you so much 🙏🏻
Similar thing happened to me. I was discussing the subject over a chat with my sister, and Amazon showed me a book and UA-cam a video! Very convenient 👌 😅
I used to give a thousand excuses....not being aware that I was simply giving way to my comfort zone and what my body wanted. Then I realised the truth. I was being lazy!
For the past year and a half, I’ve suffered one significant trial after another. It’s just now dawning on me that these trials are opportunities for me to do penance for my many sins. I can relate each trial to a sin of my own. The table has turned and I’m being made to suffer as I caused suffering for others due to my sins. I must accept these sufferings with joy for this opportunity in my senior years to atone instead of complaining and indulging in self pity. Understanding this has relieved me of the burden of my own self centeredness.
While working a full 7 days as a carer, while driving round in between each house visit i would pray so most days i got 4 rosaries in plus 4 hours of other prayers, this pleased me so much.
Salve Maria! Sometimes it is not laziness or procrastination, it is just plain exhaustion. Sometimes we just have too much on our plate and finding help is very difficult and not cheap, especially where I live. Caregiving is very time consuming and I gave up Parish Council, teaching Religous Education, hobbies and doing things with friends and still didn't have time for anything but caregiving, work and taking care of my son.
Amen! While true that a habit of laziness may lead to sinful behavior, it is just as dangerous to judge too quickly - like the child who is not doing their homework. There are so many reasons why this could happen, and a priest teaching parents to get busy working laziness out of their children makes me just want to pray that this very simplified message will not harm children who are already vulnerable.
I just want to say its so WONDERFUL, to find a non Usa, dominant Catholic Site. Ive been literally Spirituality sick, after priests i was watching put up Us flag above our Icon, and offered up Masses, for rich politician, not poor, sick, marginalised in that country. Please keep to our Faith. That doesn't divide us Catholics all over The world. I love The Word. In gratitude 🙏
Excellent insight re overcoming laziness! Thank you very much, Father! May God bless ✝️ us, and that may He help us in overcoming our daily lazy weaknesses. As you mentioned, Father, "Be confident!" Amen! 🙏🏼❤️🕊️
Great educational conversations, Fathers. Especially will actually know nothing if lazy intellectually, Spirituality, when finally old, like me. Didn't have internet more than half my life. Im spending more time reading, praying, after listening.
I have a difficult time, PTSD from something deeply hidden, work 3am shift and sleeping enough is difficult. I'm barely keeping it together. When I get a day of clarity something takes it away. The spiritual director is just daily surrender. Need some one who would dedicate time to up root What is going on. It looks like sloth or Acadia. Very difficult when hormones are gone too.
Tks for this program. I always enjoy your conversational teachings. I read a book "Acedia the Noonday Devil" 2015, authored by Dom Jean-Charles Nault OSB. Powerful reading. I would suggest all Catholics read this book.
I am nearly 70, a Catechist - yet still unfamiliar with Concentrating oneself to Jesus through the Hands of Mary. I was just wondering how to find out more about it when the Brother mentioned the link in the description. I definitely WILL follow through with it.
❤ Father, thank you. Please tell me how to make a donation. What a wonderful difference you must make in people's lives. I'm so glad I stumbled (or did the Holy Spirit send direct me?) on to your channel. May God bless and keep you all in His loving embrace.
I believe that when our Lord was in the olive garden with His 3 disciples that God made them sleepy and possibly harden their hearts as part and parcel of Jesus's Passion. Emotional suffering is extremely difficult to work through, and Jesus wanted the company of His 3 closest friends, to support Him. "Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush Him with pain. When you make His life an offering for sin." Is 53:10a PRAISE BE TO GOD AND HAIL MARY QUEEN OF THE MOST HOLY ROSARY!!!
Consecration to Jesus Christ, The Incarnate Wisdom, Through The Blessed Virgin Mary O ETERNAL and Incarnate Wisdom! O sweetest and most adorable Jesus! True God and true man, only Son of the Eternal Father, and of Mary, always virgin! I adore Thee profoundly in the bosom and splendours of Thy Father during eternity; and I adore Thee also in the virginal bosom of Mary, Thy most worthy Mother, in the time of Thine Incarnation. I give Thee thanks for that Thou hast annihilated Thyself, taking the form of a slave in order to rescue me from the cruel slavery of the devil. I praise and glorify Thee for that Thou hast been pleased to submit Thyself to Mary, Thy holy Mother, in all things, in order to make me Thy faithful slave through her. But, alas! Ungrateful and faithless as I have been, I have not kept the promises which I made so solemnly to Thee in my baptism; I have not fulfilled my obligations; I do not deserve to be called Thy child, nor yet Thy slave, and as there is nothing in me which does not merit Thine anger and Thy repulse, I dare not come by myself before Thy most holy and august Majesty. It is on this account that I have recourse to the intercession of Thy most holy Mother, whom Thou hast given me for a mediatrix with Thee. It is through her that I hope to obtain of Thee contrition, the pardon of my sins, and the acquisition and preservation of wisdom. Hail, then, O Immaculate Mary, living tabernacle of the Divinity, where the Eternal Wisdom willed to be hidden and to be adored by Angels and by men! Hail, O Queen of Heaven and earth, to whose empire everything is subject that is under God. Hail, O sure refuge of sinners, whose mercy fails no one. Hear the desires which I have of the Divine Wisdom; and for that end receive the vows and offerings which in my lowliness I present to thee. I, ______________, a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in thy hands the vows of my baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before. In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose thee this day for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee, as thy slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity. Receive, O benignant Virgin, this little offering of my slavery, in honour of, and in union with, that subjection which the Eternal Wisdom deigned to have to thy maternity; in homage to the power which both of Thee have over this little worm and miserable sinner, and in thanksgiving for the privileges with which the Holy Trinity hath favoured thee. I declare that I wish henceforth, as thy true slave, to seek thy honour and to obey thee in all things. O admirable Mother, present me to thy dear Son as His eternal slave, so that as He hath redeemed me by thee, by thee He may receive me! O Mother of mercy, grant me the grace to obtain the true Wisdom of God; and for that end receive me among those whom thou lovest and teachest, whom thou leadest, nourishest and protectest as thy children and thy slaves. O faithful Virgin, make me in all things so perfect a disciple, imitator and slave of the Incarnate Wisdom, Jesus Christ thy Son, that I may attain, by thine intercession and by thine example, to the fullness of His age on earth and of His glory in Heaven. Amen.
What if someone struggels because of adhd and cannot tell the difference between adhd and laziness so that he doesn't know to what extend he is responsible?
Whether it’s adhd or laziness it’s still ones cross to carry and one is not excused. You won’t be judged the same as a person without adhd but nevertheless, you can’t excuse yourself either. Do whatever the lord puts in front of you and when you feel your adhd is taking over, ask God for help. “When you are weak, you are strong” you lack nothing in Christ.
