Freedom In The Spiritual Life - The Inner Life - June 29, 2026

(8:24) Fr. Alan Hoffa joins Deacon Patrick Conley to discuss freedom in the spiritual life.   Break 1   (20:05) Tom - In Russian, the word for freedom connotates no restraint whatsoever. I believe that the Soviet Union had people living out this view.    St. Peter and Paul were free because of how they lived their lives in Christ   (28:04) Email – Bonnie – In the spiritual canticle St. John calls wandering thoughts nymphs. Is it a sin to have these thoughts?   Break 2   (39:38) Justin - Freedom of sin led to me to prison but now I'm following the Lord. I tell students in OCIA that we need to follow rules placed by the Church and our Lord allowing us to travel the road of life safely and freedom is gained through that.   (44:53) Email – Robin – what are the differences between religious freedom and spiritual freedom. Father Hoffa also addresses how does serving others help us become more free.
