The gospels and New Testament letters are very clear. There is no great value accorded to the concept of independence American-style, yet in his letter to the Galatians, St. Paul speaks rdnbonships emphatically that Christ came to free us: “For you were called for freedom. But do not use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh; rather, serve one another through love.” (Gal 5:13) We often use the words freedom and independence interchangeably as if they are synonyms, but real freedom has a spiritual dimension and comes only from taking a leap of faith and making k / M r ' t r - H - f commitments rather than avoiding them. People often ask priest how we can be celibate as it is seen as depriving us of the intimacy of T-rtlf PfU -ATIO Vf-tflV> marriage and children, and, typically, we answer something to the effect that the vows, including poverty and obedience as well, free us to serve everyone. It’s what St. Paul was getting at in his do f h o m c r letter. If we want to be truly free, then we should give our lives over to whatever or whomever di^fanc-c- f h m ? allows us to love the most. Whatever we choose, whether marriage, priesthood, religious life, or remaining single is going to entail letting go of something that we also want.

Joe Rehmann, a sophomore from Dillon, came out on top after an even, hard-fought match against Morrissey fresh­ man Bryan Grissinger. The fight went back and forth, but Rehmann controlled the ring and was able to land more punches in order to win with a split decision.
