Grace frees us to train for godliness, seek visible progress and persevere in ordinary faithfulness.

Jesus gives the rest we cannot earn and teaches us to carry love’s responsibilities with him.

Sloth scatters our attention; diligence begins by receiving Jesus’ word and being present to the person before us.

Sloth grows through small postponements; diligence does the good that belongs to this moment.

Sloth resists the claims of love; diligence wakes to God’s mercy and gives steady attention to the neighbour before us.
