Monday First Things - Teachings of the Holy Fathers 
31/10/22, 06:00 AM

Laziness often attacks those who labor in piety, and frequently it overcomes a person when he is negligent. To drive away this passion, the holy fathers advise us to hold on to the memory of death, eternal torments, and the blessedness of the righteous, being guided in this with humility, which, by drawing down upon us the mercy of God, will completely free us from the captivity of laziness.

Venerable Macarius of Optina
Living without Hypocrisy
