Wisdom from Ven. Fulton Sheen

The true concept of freedom is ‘Freedom is the right to do whatever we ought’, and ought implies goal, purpose, morality, and the law of God. True freedom is within the law, not outside it. I am free to draw a triangle, if I give it three sides, but not, in a stroke of broad-mindedness, fifty-seven sides. I am free to fly on condition that I obey the law of aeronautics. In the spiritual realm, I am also most free when I obey the law of God.

—Ven. Fulton Sheen
