The Seven Capital Sins are called “capital” because they are root vices that give rise to other sins. They are not necessarily the seven worst individual sins, but dispositions that can lead us into many other sins

1. 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗘
An excessive elevation of oneself, placing oneself above God or others.

2. 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗗
An excessive attachment to wealth, possessions, or material gain.

3. 𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗧
Disordered or excessive desire for sexual pleasure, treating another person as an object of gratification.

4. 𝗘𝗡𝗩𝗬
Sorrow or resentment over another person's good, success, possessions, or advantages.

5. 𝗚𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗧𝗢𝗡𝗬
An excessive or disordered desire for food, drink, or bodily pleasure.

6. 𝗪𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗛
Disordered anger that seeks revenge or causes us to desire another person's harm.

7. 𝗦𝗟𝗢𝗧𝗛
Spiritual or moral laziness—a failure to pursue the good and respond to our responsibilities, especially our relationship with God.

The traditional Seven Capital Virtues provide a powerful way to fight these tendencies:

Humility → Pride
Generosity → Greed
Chastity → Lust
Gratitude/Charity → Envy
Temperance → Gluttony
Patience/Meekness → Wrath
Diligence → Sloth

The goal is not merely to avoid sin, but to allow Christ to transform our habits and desires through grace.

“Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
— Matthew 26:41
