Monday Musings - How Do You See Freedom?

I am blessed to be reading Embracing Edith Stein - Wisdom For Women from St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, written by a good friend and gifted author, Anne Costa. I highly recommend this book to you.

We banter the word and concept of "freedom" about, mistaking real freedom for the counterfeit being offered by many in this very confused and lost world we inhabit.

How might this world look if we saw freedom for what it actually is and as our loving God intended? 

May the words of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) open our eyes, heart, minds and souls  to the possibilities awaiting those who choose to be truly free:

    Edith Stein was a great gift to the Church of the 20th and 21st century. We can learn so much from her conversion journey and life.

PRAYER TO BE PRESERVED FROM SUDDEN DEATH

PRAYER OF ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA

"Eternal Father, all things are possible for You. Although You created us without our assistance, You will not save us unless we help. Therefore, I pray You re-create their wills so that they wish for what they do not wish for: I ask this of Your infinite mercy. You have created us out of nothing. Now that we exist have mercy on us. Re-make the vessel which You created in Your own image and likeness. Bring them back to Your grace through the grace and blood of You Son, the beloved Jesus Christ."
