"Liberation" - Segundo Galilea

Struggle and gratuitousness, liberation and communion, are demands not only of the Christian way, but also (and for the same reasons) of the human condition. They are experiences of the Christian people: a people who work, a people who celebrate communion because they know that the total reality of human beings, both in their relationship to God and to others, is much more than a matter of struggles; because they likewise know that the capacity to celebrate God’s life and covenant with us is already an experience of liberation. This people can live in the night of suffering and injustice while maintaining the light of their faith and hope in God.
