It is Love that reveals the truth and makes us free and happy.Every year on Good Friday, Christians take time to meditate on the depth of JesusвЂ™ sacrifice for us in suffering a humiliating, bloody death by crucifixion. It is a journey on which Love comes from the Cross guides and sustains us. He thus urges Christians to take up this path as it does us good. It is difficult but not impossible to remain free. This journey of truth and freedom, the Pope says, is an arduous one that lasts a lifetime. This is why truth must constantly question and make us restless so that we may always go deeper into what we really are. It is an active freedom, aroused by the grace of the Holy Spirit. This restlessness, he says, is the sign that the Holy Spirit working within us. However, the Pope says, there are Christians who are never restless, who live the same way with no movement in their hearts. In order to be truly free, the Pope says, we need to know ourselves not only on the psychological level, but above all we need to open ourselves to the grace of Christ in the depths of our hearts.

He says there are many who live the life of Christ more than the great theologians, for example, offering a great witness to the freedom of the Gospel.ДЇreedom makes one free by transforming a personвЂ™s life and directing it toward the good. This is the wisdom of Christ that works through the Holy Spirit at baptism. He points out that there are many who have not gone to school and cannot read and write, yet have understood well the message of Christ and have this wisdom that sets them free. The second pillar of freedom, the Pope explains, is the truth of faith, which is not an abstract theory, but the reality of the living Christ, who touches the daily and overall meaning of personal life. A Christian is free and not called not to return to be a slave to precepts and strange things. This is the key to his intimacy with Jesus, which encourages us on the path of free life. By nailing вЂњhis flesh with its passions and desiresвЂќ on the Cross he received the greatest gift of his life: freedom. Paul had experienced this mystery of love first-hand. Jesus achieves complete freedom by giving himself up to death, knowing that only in this way could He obtain life for everyone. It is the mystery of the love between Jesus and the Father, which leads Him to the Cross.

The fact that the cross, where we are stripped of every freedom in death, could become the source of freedom is a paradox that never ceases to amaze us. Right there where Jesus allowed Himself to be nailed down, to become a slave, God has placed the source of man's liberation. In fact, the truest freedom, the freedom from the slavery of sin, sprang from the Cross of Christ. вЂњIn fact,вЂќ the Pope says, вЂњthe truest freedom from the slavery of sin flows from the Cross of Christ,вЂќ the source of the liberation of the human person. Paul concentrates his entire proclamation on Jesus. Liberated by Christ from the bonds of his past life, St. Freedom is a gift of loveДЄccording to Pope Francis, freedom is a gift from the Lord as it is the fruit of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Pope Francis further explains that Christian freedom is based on two fundamental pillars: first, freedom is the grace of Jesus and second, it is Christ the Truth, who reveals Himself to us. Hence, the call to remain in Jesus, the source of truth who makes us free. Paul on freedom, the Pope continues, is in line with what Jesus says in JohnвЂ™s Gospel: вЂњIf you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you freeвЂќ. вЂњA proclamation that would preclude freedom in Christ,вЂќ the Pope says, вЂњwould never be evangelical.вЂќ It would perhaps be pelagian, jansenist or something like that but not evangelical. 'You cannot make anyone a slave in the name of Jesus who makes us free,вЂќ the Pope stresses, adding, вЂњFreedom is a gift given to us in baptism.вЂќ Paul thus urges his Christians to remain firm and guard this freedom they had received with baptism, as he is aware there were some вЂњfalse brothersвЂќ who wanted to bring them back into bondage. The Apostle of the Gentiles feels pained at seeing Christians who, after having known and accepted the truth of Christ and His liberating presence, move to the slavery of sin, legalism, and so forth, by allowing themselves to be attracted by deceptive proposals.Д®ven Christians today, the Pope points out, seek refuge in legalism and casuistry. Paul explains to the Galatians, is a gift. For many, freedom is an acquired right, preserved. Starting from the common concept of freedom, the Holy Father explains that we appreciate freedom only when we lose it. This freedom is the way to happiness, Pope Francis said in his General Audience of 6 October at the Vatican's Paul VI Hall. Christian freedom is the gift of God based on the truth of Jesus, who revealed the depth of GodвЂ™s love in His supreme sacrifice on the Cross.
