SEVEN DEADLY SINS
&
SEVEN LIVELY VIRTUES
By Bishop Robert Barren

Join us in the Nativity Room with snacks provided for
this engaging presentation concerning the seven
deadly sins, those great spiritual blocks that inhibit
our flourishing in relationship with God and with one
another. Based on Dante’s writings the seven deadly
sins correspond to the seven stories of Dante’s Mt.
Purgatory, Pride, envy, sloth, gluttony, avarice and
lust are all presented as patterns of dysfunction
within us that lead to unhappiness.
However Bishop Barren shows us how to counteract
these seven sinful patterns through a conscious
process of opposition which are the “seven lively
virtues.” The seven lively virtues offer antidotes to
each sin and help set us on the right path to healing
and happiness.
