The Greatest Gift
The greatest gift we have from God is free will for, without it, there is no love. The greatest gift we can give God is our free will for, submitting to God’s, will is the ultimate act of love. “The perfection of love consists in conforming our will to the will of God.” – St.

“Dear brothers, we must endure and persevere if we are to attain the truth and freedom we have been allowed to hope for.” – Saint Cyprian
