The general trend today is to work as little as possible for the greatest possible rewards. But do we realise that this culture of sloth is undermining our integrity and shrinking our personalities... and maybe even worse?
Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic, Australia.

Lust is a vice so prevalent that many people have come to see it as a kind of virtue. Is it? In a world that is obsessed with sex as pleasure, we may need to stop and reflect on God's plan for humanity and our true happiness.
Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic.

Long ago, a wise man said that one sure sign of those preoccupied with low things was overeating -  “their god is their stomach”.  This form of false worship - the vice of gluttony - is unfortunately ever with us, as are its negative consequences – but thankfully, so are its solutions.
Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic, Australia.

The 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.

We 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.
Written and narrated by the Conventual Sisters of St Dominic, Australia.

Anger - we all have it. We all need it to survive. But we need to keep the lid on it. This means controlling it by our reason and giving it direction by our will, so that it becomes a power for good in the world not the destructive force it so often is.
