Noonday Demon – Acedia, Part 1 – What is it

Acedia is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. It is sometimes translated “Sloth” or “laziness.” But wait, it’s far more than that. Acedia is a sin that we all suffer from. The monks called it “The Noonday Demon.” Acedia feels like depression, but it’s not depression. When you just don’t want to be religious anymore.
