Elisha and the Nature of True Freedom

Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies - A podcast by Bishop Robert Barron

Freedom is not self-determination, but finding and doing what God wants you to do. Biblical figures did not choose their God-given role; God chose it for them. Thus, in order for us to fulfill our mission perfectly we have to get rid of all obstacles to freely following Christ. This means that we have to get rid of all that prevents us from perfectly loving God, neighbor, and self.
