And it’sthis: “Freedom is not the power of doing whatwe like, but the right of being able to do whatwe ought.” This is the flame of true freedom,which we should keep burning brightly, notonly for our own sake, but also for the sake ofmany people in many countries who sufferterrible persecution and even death because oftheir religious beliefs.~Most Rev. William E. Lori, Archbishop ofBaltimore, Opening Homily of Fortnight forFreedom, June 21, 2012Por todos los sacerdotes y seminaristas: quesiempre sientan un profundo aprecio por el don desu vocación y tengan la valentía de proclamar elEvangelio de la Vida.Roguemos al Señor.Palabra de VidaMediante la oración, la educación y el ejercicio denuestros derechos como ciudadanos, nuncacesemos de defender la única noción de libertadque corresponde a nuestra dignidad como personasy lo suficientemente resistente para sostener nuestraforma de vida democrática. Y es esta: “La libertadno es el poder de hacer lo que nos gusta, sino elderecho de poder hacer lo que debemos”. Esta es lallama de la verdadera libertad, que debemosmantener encendida, no solo por nuestro propiobien, sino por el bien de la mucha gente de tantospaíses que sufren terribles persecuciones e inclusola muerte debido a su fe religiosa.~Reverendísimo William E. Lori, arzobispo deBaltimore, Homilía para el inicio de laQuincena por la Libertad, junio 21, 2012August 19, 2012 One Family in Faith Making Christ Known Page 11
