May 08, 2021Sloth: The Seventh Capital Sin - Truth Byte 31The general trend today is to work as little as possible for the greatest possible rewards.

May 03, 2021Lust: The Sixth Capital Sin - Truth Byte 30Lust is a vice so prevalent that many people have come to see it as a kind of virtue. Is it?

November 09, 2020Gluttony: The Fifth Capital Sin - Truth Byte 29Long ago, a wise man said that one sure sign of those preoccupied with low things was overeating - “their god is their stomach”.

October 03, 2020Envy: The Fourth Capital Sin - Truth Byte 28The sin of envy is one of the ugliest sins. Envy makes us resent the success, gifts, good fortune of others just because we haven't got them ourselves. It is the ultimate kill-joy. It spoils life for others and doesn't improve our own.Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic....more7minPlay
September 21, 2020Avarice: The Third Capital Sin - Truth Byte 27We all battle against materialism - that degrading tendency to put more value on things than on people. The vice of avarice grows out of this and makes us slaves to our wants, never satisfied with what we have and much more keen on getting than on giving.

September 01, 2020Anger: The Second Capital Sin - Truth Byte 26Anger - we all have it. We all need it to survive. But we need to keep the lid on it.

August 12, 2020Pride: The First Capital Sin - Truth Byte 25Personal pride - a healthy sense of our own self-worth – is a virtue. But thanks to all the defects of our fallen human nature, we often manage to turn pride into something very ugly, one of the capital sins in fact. It’s the ultimate sin of self-idolatry which leads us into all kinds of dangerous delusions and generally makes us impossible to live with.Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic....more8minPlay
July 16, 2020The Seven Capital Sins - Truth Byte 24None of us is going to argue with the fact that our human nature is not perfect. None of us, however, want to really degrade our human nature by sin, especially by those big ones that can turn us into monsters . What are these big sins we sometimes call capital sins? What do they look like in action? How do we deal with them?Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic, Australia....more6minPlay
July 04, 2020Fortitude: The Freedom to be Faithful - Truth Byte 23Most of us appreciate being supported by firm, loyal friends and have an admiration (sometimes secret) for people with moral fortitude . The virtue of fortitude is a highly attractive one – nothing like the aggressive, dominating, showy strength we associate with the heavyweights of the world but more like the faithful, self-sacrificing and committed strength of the big-hearted.Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic....more6minPlay
June 23, 2020Temperance: The Freedom for Self-control - Truth Byte 22The word "temperance" has often been associated with people joining a temperance league - making an oath never to drink alcohol. The virtue of temperance is a much more wide-ranging and attractive thing. It's all about managing our bodies and our emotions in healthy ways that make us more what we are made to be. Like the other moral virtues, then, temperance is a humanising habit that brings its own happiness both here and in the afterlife.Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic, Australia....more7minPlay
