Pursuing Real Freedom

Freedom is tied into the very identity of God, and who we as his children made in his image and likeness. Understanding the real meaning of freedom revealed to us by Christ, will allow us to properly respond to the evils of our world and build a more just and virtuous society. As Catholics, our liberty must ultimately point to the participation in the Divine life.

“Real liberty is the ability to make a gift of oneself.”

Freedom is tied into the true, the good and the beautiful!

“For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father.”- John 10:17-18

“Every generation of Americans needs to know that freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.”- St. John Paul II
