Endowed by our Creator

At this week's Catholic Carnival, I found the following prayer, which reflects the prayer in my heart as I listened to people today speak about rights as license rather than responsibility and privelege. May we give thanks to Lord Redeemer for our constant blessings~

Dear Lord
So many today misunderstand freedom believing that it is the ability to do whatever we want. Help us always to remember that freedom, true freedom, is being able to do what we ought to do. That freedom, true freedom, is not indulging our every want and whim, but instead is the ability to rise above any desires that are wrong, disordered, dangerous, or excessive. Give us the grace always to remember that true freedom makes us the people you wish us to be, that true freedom brings us closer to you, and reshapes our world in the likeness of your kingdom.
AMEN
