Christmas Logic
Younger Daughter:
I got a lot of presents even though I wasn’t good!
I was naughty, and I got a lot of presents.

You didn’t get many presents, Mommy!

It is of the greatest importance to re-establish the essential connection between life and freedom. These are inseparable goods: where one is violated, the other also ends up being violated. There is no true freedom where life is not welcomed and loved; and there is no fullness of life except in freedom. Both realities have something inherent and specific which links them inextricably: the vocation to love. Love, as a sincere gift of self, is what gives the life and freedom of the person their truest meaning.Evangelium Vitae, John Paul the Great.
