The Easter Gift of Freedom

Good article from Godspy.

Think about those areas of your life in which you are most unfree. Eastertide is the perfect time to come to terms with whatever limits, hinders, or impairs our capacity for God. What overfills your life, leaving no room for God? The Holy Father assures us that "the crucified Christ reveals the authentic meaning of freedom; he lives it fully in the total gift of himself and calls his disciples to share in his freedom." Freedom begins in self-emptying...becoming as empty as the tomb. For, as Fr. Aidan Nichols, O.P., observes, freedom is God "giving us a genuine role in what happens." When we take on that role we glorify God. Make a space for grace. Be free.
