A Note from Fr. Jason Gries,
This week we celebrated the 4th of July. Certainly, it is a time for grilling out, joining with family and friends and fireworks. Like many of our holidays here in the US though, it can be easy to overlook the real celebration. Firstly, it commemorates the establishment of the United States of America when the Declaration of Independence was ratified by the Second Continental Congress. Independence Day celebrates the independence of the thirteen colonies from the rule of the monarch of Britain. We imbue this celebration with even more importance as we celebrate the foundational principle of freedom and remember all of those who have given and continue to give their lives for it. Our secular society touts freedom above most everything else. This secular idea of freedom is far less than the sense of freedom espoused by our Catholic faith.
The secular sense of freedom is a “freedom from” and unfortunately becomes twisted to a “freedom from” anything that might be deemed restrictive or prohibitive. Certainly that “freedom from” certain restrictions is necessary, but only as the beginning of true freedom, which is rather a “freedom for.” Our Catholic faith speaks instead of a “freedom for” better things: for God, for others. St. John Paul II said, "True freedom consists not in doing what we like but in doing what we ought.” This freedom must be grounded in virtue and truth. If not, this truth gets twisted to a simple license to do what one wants…whether good or evil. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “The more one does what is good, the freer one becomes. There is no true freedom except in the service of what is good and just.” (CCC §1733) “Freedom from” ultimately gets twisted into slavery to my own will and desires versus what anyone else might try to tell me. “Freedom of Choice” as espoused in the proAbortion movement is freedom to choose whatever I deem is best, not what is truly good, especially in respecting the dignity of all human persons created in God’s image and likeness. There are many emotions, and pressures when it comes to having a child and I pray for all mothers and fathers who are pregnant and those too who have chosen abortion. God’s love is greater than our choices and any politics.
In our own United States, the Conference of Catholic Bishops calls us to recognize the inalienable right to Religious Freedom not only for us as Catholics, but all human persons. In our time, Religious Freedom is broken and challenged when Catholic churches have been attacked and vandalized in our country. Legal encroachments on the right to maintain the seal of confession have continued. Catholic institutions, hospitals, schools and child welfare services are not able to carry out their missions with integrity because of healthcare reforms that deteriorate individual and institutional conscience protections. Around the world, governments and individuals do not allow the Catholic Church to thrive in supporting people and standing for truth.
This week as we've celebrated Freedom, let us take time to understand the true gift of Freedom given to us by Jesus Christ. Yes, it is a “freedom from” the tyranny of sin as He died on the cross to free us. But ultimately it is a “freedom for” doing good for others in truth in His name. Let us continue to pray for religious freedom for all peoples and the true freedom given us by Jesus Christ.
God Bless,
Fr. Jason Gries
