SACRAMENTAL LIVING

“Freedom is a paradox. It is an utterly inherent part of our existence – a critical part of our salvation – and yet threatening in its power. Freedom of the self can seem a threat to every kind of order (religious, political, social, etc.).

St. Paul will also warn in his letter to the Galatians (5:13) that our liberty should not be used as an excuse
