Take Away My Freedom



TAKE AWAY MY FREEDOM
(by Lea Maria)

Take away my freedom, O Lord,

the freedom to turn my back on You.

Take away my freedom, O Lord,

the freedom to hurt You.

Take away my freedom, O Lord,

the freedom to hurt and be indifferent.

Take away my freedom, O Lord,

the freedom not to love as You have loved me.

Take away my freedom, O Lord,

the freedom to live just for myself.

Take away my freedom, O Lord,

the freedom to be deaf and blind to the needy.

Take away my freedom, O Lord,

the freedom to waste the time that is meant for You.

Take away my freedom, O Lord,

the freedom to ignore You when I know I heard Your call.

I don't need these freedom, I don't want these freedom.

Take away instead my life if my existence will be filled by these.

For I only want to serve You and love You and glorify You.

All the days of my life, O Lord, I belong to You.

Special Time (Quality Time) Do you love playing games or reading with someone special? That's a concrete act of love!  Put down your tablet and listen when your friend tells you about their day. Ask a grown-up to play your favori...

Biblical Films in the Digital Age: A New Era of Evangelization

Who has watched The Passion of the Christ in its entirety and remained unmoved? Who has become hooked on The Chosen and is not continuously being transformed?  These powerful productions remind us of the enduring impact of biblical storytelling. Whether reliving the profound sacrifice or walking alongside disciples in their daily lives, these films bring ancient narratives to life, inviting us into a deeper, more personal encounter with the sacred. The dawn of the new evangelization has come. God is our God of the past, our God of the future, and our God of the here and now. In every generation, even the means of evangelization must adapt. And our Lord knows that. He will not be contained in the past. He will be among us, here. Now. As one of us. God and human, God incarnate dwelling among us, preaching of His Kingdom. Whoever has ears, let them hear.  - Matthew 11:15 (Watch this on  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkfzovXpAVA  )
