We Cona- mm are proud of our freedom .,-iiich had never been compromis- ,d. we think so much of it that we have sacrificed our sons and daugh- iers to save it in time of peril. We have preserved it and we cherish ,, M a. pearl of great price. "We must be free or die"

yet precisely because our free- dom is as old as our nation, and bcdause we have never been de-

med of it, there is a very nat- ural and very human tendency to nice it for granted. As we turn on me tap or switch on the electric ngbt we do not advert to the bene- mg at our fingertips for we have become accustomed to them as the ol'dillnl'y comforts of our clvili'1.ii- mm, similarly with our freedom: n is so constantly with us and 80 fymillflr that we are inclined to forget it.

Any one of us could make a list to fill this page of the details of daily life which freedom :ol'El! with in protecting mantle. yet not every nation can make this mast.

iruzope today is I gliastiv re- muidcr oi what happens when rrcedom is abused or destroyed. Thou.H1ilIdS, indeed millions, are haves because some peoples have abused their own and their neigh- bor's frceilom. We hear examples of the travesties of justice and freedom in the trials of Archbishop sicpiiinc, Cardinal Mindszenty, and zecenily of his successor, Archbish- np Grocsz, to mention but a few of mo millions who have lost their lrccdoni. Why has this happened? why lias barbarism been able to ensiavr millions who say they want. i:ecdoiii? Because in truth, they have been disinterested in its pre- sefvililtlil in their daily lives. They have traded their precious heri- iaec for Ilic counterfeit and now they stand helpless and despairing in their niiscry. The story of Eur-

ope's loss of freedom can be rc- peiiteri here even in this land of n-rs, in tile very same way - by

iirriertiiig the essence of freedom.

The abuse of freedom stems item ii wrong idea of its inezuiing. we confuse freedom with licence and feel that any authority or rule or direction from without is a denial of that freedom. But. free- li0'll and law are so closely related iiiat one has no meaning without use other. One acts in a truly free mannrr when he acts within the iaw.Fnr example, I am free to drive my car. but, I am not free to fl!'ll'(' it against a red light. Yet no man would be foolish as to maintain that a red light curtalls my freedom. on the contrary. it extends it. because the red light along with the other highway reg- iilativms help to make the road fee .'-nm danger and coiifuslnii, lwli of which would seriously rc- st-iu. my freedom.

The same holds true in my rc- lations with my neighbor. I am not free to take what. is his: his life, his reputation, or his goods. To Jeo- pardize any of these is not an ex- ,..rlse of freedom but of licence, and is unjust. No one would say the lall: of God and of men protect- nx my neighbor curtail my free- iuiu. They do not curtail it: they rattle and direct it in its perfect lnmtioii.

wonderful a gift could -have its source only in the Divine Mind. It is another example of God's limit- less bounty in the creation of man.

Now if God is the author of this freedom we love and cherish so much. it stands to reason that it must be achieved according to His laiv. Perfect Ireedom comes about when the law of God is perfectly obeyed. st. Paul speaks of the "slavery of sin:" if someone breaks God's law by taking what is not his, or by injuring his neighbor, or by committing fornication, he does not achieve a freedom, but is en. slaved.

If then this priceless freedom is to be truly realized and preserved it can only be by means of close at- tention to all law: Divine. first of all. and all just human law. which emanates from the Divine. Free- dom which pretends to' know no law is not freedom at all: it is a very dangerous counterfeit.

The result of true freedom. cveryonc has experienced, is a unique happiness which nothizig clsc can provide. This is true in the case of the person as well as of the nation. A sl ve cannot be truly happy, be:-aue freedom is an in- tegrlil part of human personality. Nor is the libei'tiiic ever truly happy: he is enslaved by his gum, Nations which have abused their OWH freedom. by neglect or other- Wiie. and have destroyed the free. dam of other nations by their in- justices, can never claim happi- ness for themselves, nor provide it others. with the help of God and under His providence let us care- fully preserve our Canadian free- dom. if our freedom is genuine, our nation will be genuinely happy.

Yet as citizens of a free nation, blessed with an nbundaiic: of God's favors, we cannot possess our free- dam in perfect tranquility while our fellow-man is enslaved. The heart of Canada is not puny and provincial: it goes out to those poor creatures of God who lie fettered by a red yoke, which claims even the very soul. While our leaders strive to do all they can by dis. cussion and dlplomacyrwe who are free can pray God to lift this yoke, and to enkindle once more the star of freedom over those suffer- ing lands. Let us strive in the same time to preserve in our own lam! the true meaning of freedom.
