Summary

The saints with feast days this week offer us powerful lessons on what it means to be authentically free in Jesus Christ. After all, as JPII said, "Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought."

Monday St. Thomas the Apostles reminds us that through free will, and ability to love or reject God, we can have true Faith in Him.
Tuesday Pier Giorgio Frassati shows us that we are really free we are able to give what we have to others without fear.
Wednesday St. Elizabeth of Portugal shows us that true freedom requires our willingness to forgive and lead others to forgiveness.
Thursday St. Maria Goretti teaches us about authentic love that requires we are free from addictions and distortions of love presented to us in the world.
Friday the heroic story of Bl. Peter To Rot shows us that when we live for eternity with Christ, we are free to speak up and live boldly for Jesus, even in the face of persecution.

0:52.5	Oh, most holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore you, I love you,
