Set us free


We live, we breathe, we search and pray for one thing, the truth. For Scripture tells us, the truth will set you free. And it is in that truth we begin to understand how much God loves us.
The Prophets were called, John the Baptist, the saints were called and we too are called to testify to the truth, and testifying to that truth can sometimes be difficult.
 How often even in our own families we know there are some who rebel against that very truth that we call our faith.
Yes, there are those who are so much in the material world that they turn Scripture completely upside down or ignore it all together.
They have not seen the true light, nor are they themselves, any resemblance to the light. But, with our gift of fortitude, we must be that light to them.
We must be the John the Baptist to others not only bearing our crosses, but forever bearing witness to the truth that sets us free.
