From the Desk of Father Steve: Learning from the Great Saints of the Church
Happy Independence Day, everyone! As our nation celebrates the gift of liberty and freedom, I hope that you all have a happy and healthy celebration of our nation’s birthday with family and friends. The notion of liberty and democracy have been cherished foundations for America’s founding and history. As Americans, we revere the gift of freedom. But, I often wonder if we really understand what true freedom consists of. Many in our society understand “freedom” and “liberty” as the ability to do whatever I want. But that in fact is not authentic freedom- that’s a quick and slippery slope to tyranny and bondage to our passions and fleeting desires and temptations. True freedom is exercised in choosing the true good, which is first of all God Himself, and then the decisions and actions that flow from His law of Love. We were created to live in relationship with God, and it is only when we turn our lives over to Divine Love that we will experience the true freedom that we long for. Below is a homily given by a modern saint, Pope St. John Paul II, which he gave on October 8, 1995 at Camden Yards Baseball Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland during his apostolic visit to the United States.
God bless you and Happy Fourth! ~Fr. Steve
*******************************
“America has always wanted to be a land of the free. Today, the challenge facing America is to find freedom’s fulfillment in the truth: the truth that is intrinsic to human life created in God’s image and likeness, the truth that is written on the human heart, the truth that can be known by reason and can therefore form the basis of a profound and universal dialogue among people about the direction they must give to their lives and their activities. One hundred thirty years ago, President Abraham Lincoln asked whether a nation "conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal" could "long endure". President Lincoln’s question is no less a question for the present generation of Americans. Democracy cannot be sustained without a shared commitment to certain moral truths about the human person and human community. The basic question before a democratic society is: "how ought we to live together?" In seeking an answer to this question, can society exclude moral truth and moral reasoning? Can the Biblical wisdom which played such a formative part in the very founding of your country be excluded from that debate? Would not doing so mean that America’s founding documents no longer have any defining content, but are only the formal dressing of changing opinion? Would not doing so mean that tens of millions of Americans could no longer offer the contribution of their deepest convictions to the formation of public policy? Surely it is important for America that the moral truths which make freedom possible should be passed on to each new generation. 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. How appropriate is Saint Paul’s charge to Timothy! "Guard the rich deposit of faith with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells within us" (2Tm. 1: 14). That charge speaks to parents and teachers; it speaks in a special and urgent way to you, my brother Bishops, Successors of the Apostles. Christ asks us to guard the truth because, as he promised us: "You will know the truth and the truth will make you free" (Jn. 8: 32). We must guard the truth that is the condition of authentic freedom, the truth that allows freedom to be fulfilled in goodness. We must guard the deposit of divine truth handed down to us in the Church, especially in view of the challenges posed by a materialistic culture and by a permissive mentality that reduces freedom to license. But we Bishops must do more than guard this truth. We must proclaim it, in season and out of season; we must celebrate it with God’s people, in the sacraments; we must live it in charity and service; we must bear public witness to the truth that is Jesus Christ. Catholics of America! Always be guided by the truth – by the truth about God who created and redeemed us, and by the truth about the human person, made in the image and likeness of God and destined for a glorious fulfillment in the Kingdom to come. Always be convincing witnesses to the truth. "Stir into a flame the gift of God" that has been bestowed upon you in Baptism. Light your nation– light the world – with the power of that flame! Amen.”
Father Steve will be posting his podcasts on Wednesdays & Fridays.
