Reflection

“Brothers and sisters: For freedom Christ set us free; so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.” –Galatians 5:1

Prayer

Liberating God,

Help us embody more and more the freedom for which you set us free. May we close the door forever on those old ways of being, thinking, and doing that could never bring life, joy, or peace. You set us free from enslavement to worry and you call us to walk in your freedom. So then wherever we are today, help us escort one another into the new life you offer: a life filled with joy, simplicity, and gratitude, open to expand liberation far and wide. Amen.
