Pope Shenouda III
Avoiding Lost Time
There are one who wastes time. To him, time is trivial, wasted without benefit. This is his primary sin. He thus, neither prays, reads, nor has any spiritual contemplation. Consequently, spiritual laxity, and perhaps slipping into sin may ensue.
Such a person may say to himself: While fasting, I want to train myself to resist wasting my time and to make use of it. How can this be done?
