| quote: Saint Raphael Arnaiz Baron (1911-1938), a Spanish Cistercian monk |
Where,
then, is true freedom?
It
is in the heart of one who loves nothing more than God
It
is in the heart of one who is attached neither to spirit nor to matter, but only
to God
It
is in that soul which is not subject to the “I” of egoism, which soars above
its own thoughts, feelings, suffering and enjoyment.
Freedom
resides in the soul whose one reason for existence is God, whose life is God
and nothing else but God.
The
human spirit is small, impoverished, subject to a thousand changes of mood, ups
and downs, depressions, disillusionments, etc., and the body to so much
weakness
Freedom, then, is in God, and the soul which
truly, in soaring above everything, makes her abode in him, can say that she
enjoys freedom to the extent that is possible for one still in the world to do
so.
