Dear Friends, welcome to WHEN I CANNOT PRAY prayer series episode number 58. We have elaborately discussed various aspects of prayer, especially dealing with the Spiritual doctrine of ST. John of the Cross. In the advanced stages of prayer, St. John of the Cross speaks of active purification of the Will the faculty that guides all other faculties of the soul. When actively it is purified, the Will disposes itself for a deeper experience of God. Here in this episode we deal with Anger, Gluttony and Sloth the other three capital vices and how we can deal with such vices and keep them under check for a comfortable disposition for God experience.

Anger: Anger is a strong feeling that comes when one is wronged or insulted or when one sees cruelty or injustice either real or imaginary. It is a vice when one becomes angry at every thing and everybody in every circumstance. Anger has such consequences as emotional cruelty, psychological pain, rage, assaults, the viciousness of tongue, insulting, abusing, cursing and swearing to inflict damage, and many other terrible combinations of hatred, including class conflict, dissention and party spirit. All these elements are detrimental to prayer. We need to discern well in prayer whether we are still a prey to these offshoots of anger. If not, we need to seek a suitable remedy to overcome this deadly sin. In order to grow in healthy relationship with God and neighbour, anger should be done away with. Jesus says “you have heard it said ‘you shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgement’. But I say to you, whoever says to his brother ‘you fool’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” (Mt 5.21-24). The tendency to anger can extend very easily to prayer and instead of praying in a friendly manner with God our anger will lead us to negative consequences. Ultimately if we are the victims of anger, we will almost certainly be angry that prayer has produced no results in our life. THE NEXT VICE IS GLUTTONY. GLUTTONY IS A WORD THAT CAN SPELL MANY AREAS OF OUR INORDINATE DESIRE TO POSSESS OR EXPERIENCE THINGS IN LIFE. Gluttony This flows from the disorderly animal appetite, the obsession with food and drink to the point of living to eat, rather than eating to live. This can harm prayer. If this tendency for food and drink is not overcome the roots of this tendency to gluttony could also extend to our spiritual life. The practice of prayer can become a substitute to material gluttony. We can become slaves to a certain type of method or the way we say our prayers and become gluttonous creatures craving for satisfaction, pleasure and gratification during prayer and crave for attention and appreciation outside of prayer. We need to discern well why such a tendency has crept into our prayer life. The genuine attitude in prayer ought to be to become aware of growing in inner freedom for God’s personal design or plan for me. If our prayer aims at only fulfilment of our odd desires, then it is no prayer at all. It is nothing less than an attempt to feed our gluttony that has taken on a spiritual garb. Sloth: Sloth is laziness or idleness. It is the bosom companion of covetousness, and is seen as the failure of the will to work purposefully and constructively for God. It is a mean sin that could not care less about others when there is no obvious and immediate personal gratification. The only antidote for this sickening attitude is perseverance, the willingness and effort to remain aware of others and open minded towards them, even and especially when there is nothing to be gained for self. Perseverance is the way by which the selfish laziness of the will is overcome through persistent acts of charity towards others and acts of devotion towards God without expectation of anything material or spiritual. We are to detach ourselves from the cravings of the animal soul for sensual satisfaction, even of a devotional, pious nature. This can be done by attaching ourselves to God and His goodness towards us as the source of our deepest fulfilment in prayer. These vices prevent our life towards the Lord. `
