In this homily, Fr. Jonathan Hollowell reflects on what it really means to be free — not to do whatever we want, but to choose the good.

Drawing from the Gospel passage, “Whoever does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple,” Father reminds us that Christ calls us to true freedom — a freedom found not in possessions or control, but in surrender and stewardship.

💬 “The Church teaches that freedom is not the absence of restrictions, but the ability to choose the good.”

He also offers practical encouragement to couples and families to find peace through faithful stewardship of finances, trusting God with all they have and are.

🙏 Reflection question:

What might God be asking you to surrender so you can experience real peace and freedom?
