Our Rule is so amazing and beautiful - suffused with the grace of God! I especially liked the 'set themselve free' part. Christ gave us the opportunity to be free but, because of our free will, it must be a conscious choice and act of will on our part to take the gift of freedom. Free to what? Free to love God, love all His children and love all creation. Freedom is truly wonderful and with it comes . . . love. Peace to you and thanks for sharing our Rule.
