Sluggishness of the soul in the exercise of virtue, because the practise of virtue requires sacrifice. It is one of the seven capital sins. It denotes a sadness or dejection concerning the Divine friendship, since this must be preserved by the laborious practise of virtue, also an indolent shunning of exertion in performing the duties of our state of life.
