True freedom is not simply doing whatever we want. It also means becoming less controlled by attitudes and habits that prevent us from loving others well. When we learn to recognize what is harmful and move away from it, we become freer to care for others with sincerity. This freedom gives us more room to choose what is good and express love through our actions.

Prayer for Freedom to Love
Holy Spirit, guide our hearts away from whatever prevents us from loving well. Help us listen to Your voice and use our freedom to do what is good. Amen.
A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away.
