Redeeming The Time

On the 4th Sunday after Pentecost, we explain the meaning of the words of St Paul: “Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.” These words define the only problem of human life, the solution, and the promise. Furthermore, the words of the centurion, whose servant was sick tell us the way to obtain this freedom, in which we are no longer compelled to sin, and can easily be righteous. It is from experience and activity, with the grace of God helping us.
