Freedom

To put ourselves at the service of the lord

August 8th 2025

Freedom is not found in the place or in the form in which most human beings expect to find it. Many people say to themselves, ‘I’m not going to tie myself down to a job, or get married, or have children. I don’t want any obligations. I want to be free.’ But do you really think that such people are free? No, inwardly they are even more constrained than others, because their desire for freedom is not inspired by a noble, selfless ideal.
All those who in their pursuit of freedom abandon their responsibilities and give themselves up to an easy life of selfishness and pleasure become slaves to the inferior spirits to whom they open their doors. Freedom should be sought for one reason only: in order to put ourselves more fully at the service of the Lord and of our fellow human beings.*

Freedom is the privilege of the spirit: when it rules in us then we can claim to be free. For this we must learn to reestablish the true hierarchy within us and become king of ourselves. It is through the light of our mind that our feelings, thoughts, instincts and desires are then obeyed.
