from The Maine Catholic · host Diocese of Portland

"The more one does what is good, the freer one becomes." - Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1733.This weeks episode focuses on the beginning of section 3 of the Catechism. Bishop Ruggieri compassionately discusses Christian morality, free will, and the reason God made us."Our choices matter. Our habits matter. The way we treat others matters. We do not earn salvation by our own strength. Salvation is grace, but grace does not bypass our freedom. It heals, elevates, and invites our cooperation. The Christian moral life is the life of a child who has received a great inheritance and is learning to live according to it." - Bishop Ruggieri.A full transcript is available on our website at: https://portlanddiocese.org/news/auspice-maria-ep-60
