Flourishing & Acedia

Rootedness and flourishing are essential for personal growth, but acedia poses a threat. Acedia is a form of spiritual sluggishness that hinders engagement in the life of God. To combat acedia, we must take small actions and do things we don't feel like doing. Lent serves as a boot camp for goal setting and emphasizes the importance of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Despite adversity, we find hope and perseverance by embracing uncertainty and finding goodness in dark times.
