Realities Not Fantasies

The Poco a Poco Podcast with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal

We think we're most free when we can kind of be in control.

"I'm free when I get to get up every day and just have control over my life and my circumstances."

That's not a Catholic freedom according to Jacque Philippe, but it is actually being able to accept reality as it is.

We struggle with freedom because it's hard to accept our weakness. It's quite difficult to accept our sinfulness—it's hard to accept these different parts of our lives. But if we don't accept ourselves, our realities, we either live in memories or fantasies where Jesus can't reach us.

This episode is the second part of our series on Interior Freedom by Fr. Jacque Philippe that talks about and the importance of acceptance towards being truly free.
