Summary: The Gospel is all about how Jesus came to save and redeem us — to give us back authentic freedom. We were redeemed from slavery to sin and given the immense freedom of becoming children of God. As St. Paul put it: "So you are no longer a slave but a child..." Three particular gifts of the Holy Spirit are essential elements in this redemption. They are infused into our souls in order to strengthen us in the proper use of this redeemed freedom, to heal our wounded willpower, so that we can better overcome our self-centered tendencies in order to make courageous, Christ-centered choices. Join Fr. John Bartunek, LC for the second meditation starter of Unleashing the Power of Pentecost, "Renewing Our Freedom", from RCSpirituality.org.
