    Diligence

    In the third episode of "7 Vices & 7 Virtues: A Lenten Journey of Conversion," we delve into the virtue of diligence, a crucial element for spiritual growth and overcoming the vice of sloth. Guided by Fr. John and inspired by the teachings of Pope Francis, this session emphasises the importance of being industrious and attentive in our faith journey, particularly during Lent. Through the allegory of a trapped sparrow and practical advice on embracing daily Christian practices, we are encouraged to stay awake to God's call, nurturing our relationship with Him through diligence. This reflective journey calls for a proactive stance against passivity and half-heartedness, urging us to cultivate a diligent heart in drawing closer to God and each other.
