Good afternoon. I am continuing with the deadly sins series for Lent this week; today is part 5 of 7, on avarice. Although the terms avarice and greed are similar and sometimes used interchangeably, they are not the same thing. Avarice refers more to the desire to have wealth, while greed is a desire to consume. In that sense, greed is more similar to gluttony, which is next week’s topic.
