Jasiewicz, Arkadiusz (Wydawnictwo Archidiecezji Przemyskiej, 2013)
Sloth is the sixth passionate thought in the Evagrian catalog. The main sign of sloth in monastic life is its appearance at noon, therefore the monk firom Pontus associates it with daemonium meridianum firom Ps 90 (91), 6. In an anchorite’s life sloth appears as the hatred to anchorese, the hatred of one’s own celi and manuał work, brothers and finalny oneself and the will to return to the world and people, a different celi or different work, the will to receive suport from others or to be praised by people. Sloth can be cured by being faithful to everyday duties, persistence in the chosen way of living, place and job as well as resistance to the temptation of endless changes.
