"Our free will is the only thing that is really our own. Our health, our wealth, our power--all these God can take from us. But our freedom he leaves to us....Because freedom is our own, it is the only perfect gift that we can make to God."
-Archbishop Fulton Sheen, qtd. in Walking with Mary: A Biblical Journey from Nazareth to the Cross, by Edward Sri
I just got Walk with Mary in the mail on Monday and I am so excited to start reading it!! Unfortunately, it must take a backseat to academics, so it might not be until Thanksgiving break, but I'm ready for it! Thanks for sharing this quote!
