"If the church speaks only of freedom while remaining silent on responsibility, it loses the sharpness of the Gospel."
"If one speaks only of conscience while remaining silent on truth, one places oneself on the throne of God."
"If one speaks only of love while remaining silent on repentance, salvation is reduced to mere comfort."

Human beings possess the freedom to choose and act according to their own desires.
However, the freedom to willingly align oneself with the good—which is what ought to be chosen—is precisely what constitutes "mature freedom."
In this sense, obeying God and following the truth does not mean losing oneself; rather, it means being shaped into one's true self.

"Prayer"

"Lord,
within the light of Your truth,
awaken our consciences
and direct our freedom toward Your goodness."

The Bishop is always clear. His words are perfect!!

Love Defined: All giving, giving all for sake of the one you love.”

See now how God is Love ?
Do you see how only God can give you the gift of the divine?
And do you see with that definition that for love of YOU why such a divine gift requires a divine sacrifice?
See how love is impossible  without the freedom?

Redemption started at His Birth, and was completed at His death, but His FIAT, (Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven ) is the greatest Gift that awaits us yet.

Love is not an emotion, Love is ' to wish the good of the other! And the absolute Love is the triune God.

In the Garden of Eden, there was only one commandment and one penalty for breaking that commandment....... death.
Romans 5:12 KJV "Wherefore, as by one man (the first man Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned"
Romans 3:23 KJV “for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD"
Romans 6:23 KJV "For the wages of sin is death; but the "GIFT of GOD" is Eternal Life through JESUS CHRIST our LORD."

Love is a human emotion.  A sense of 'freedom' is an emotion .  Unfortunately in the physical world there is no such thing as ABSOLUTES !  There is no absolute love and there's no such thing as absolute Freedom !  What may make humans different from the rest of the animal world is our 'intellect' and the will to Control our Emotions. Psychologically speaking, it's already been demonstrated that 'love' is IRRATIONAL. It can be impulsive, impatient and uncivilized because no one can actually 'define' Love.
It's an 'abstraction'. Everyone defines it differently. Some view it as 'companionship', some see it as sex, no one really knows what it is.  Yet the Clergy in this production acts as if it's Fundamental to human life.  I don't think that will be 'true' for very long because it seems human beings are bound & determined to replace themselves with MACHINES  !!  Go figure.
