Called to Be Free (Gal 5:1): Jesus the Liberator

We Christians are called to be free.  But “freedom is not relativism” (Pope Benedict XVI).  We shall reflect on what Christian freedom means for our lives, for our faithfulness, for our commitment to Christ and to the Church. 

Father Germar Neubert, OSB, did his philosophical, theological, and pedagogical studies in Europe, and, since 1994, serves as Prior of our monastery in Schuyler.
