St. Paul describes the struggle for freedom in our hearts:

“For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. … For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself’” (Galatians 5:1,13-14).
The battle for goodness is nonstop in our own hearts — and in the fallen world. We have not only our hearts to contend with, but a world that consistently desires to choose what is less good, less noble, less excellent and less holy. In such a state of affairs, we are called to cooperate with God’s grace, understand our dignity, and fight for the freedom to pursue and thrive in what is true, good and beautiful in our world today. The fight is only optional if we’ve decided to compromise and accept waywardness and tyranny as the rule of the day.                                                                                                                                                                  –Fr.
