Pope at audience: Freedom is born in God’s love, grows in charity. Recalling that, through Christ, “we have passed from slavery of fear and sin to the freedom of God’s children,” Pope Francis continued his catechesis on St Paul’s Letter to the Galatians by offering a deeper understanding of what is at the heart of Christian liberty.

Freedom, he said, is very different from license; it is not found in giving in to our own selfish desires, but instead leads us to serve others. “True freedom,” the Pope said, “is fully expressed in love.”

Pope Francis noted that Saint Paul acknowledges that “all things are lawful,” but adds that not all things are useful or edifying. Against the idea of a self-serving freedom, St Paul places the demands of love

“Freedom guided by love,” explained Pope Francis, “is the only one that frees our self and others.”

“Let us say and believe that others are not an obstacle to my freedom, but rather the possibility to fully realise it – because our freedom is born from God’s love and grows in charity.”
