The Seven Deadly Sins

We had a Lenten retreat following daily Mass today. The focus was on the Seven Deadly Sins and the accompanying Seven Heavenly Virtues. Because of time constraints, we were only able to go through three of the deadly sins and their corresponding virtues. At some point, I would be interested in a more thorough examination of the study. The conversations were enlightening and I feel like I learned a great deal in the few hours I spent with the other parishioners attending the retreat.

The seven deadly sins and their virtues are listed below:

Pride and Humility
Envy and Kindness
Anger and Patience
Sloth and Zeal
Avarice and Liberality
Gluttony and Abstinence
Lust and Chastity
