“Talking about obedience is not very fashionable today because it is considered a renunciation of freedom, but obedience in its deepest meaning is a great act of love, by which we accept dyeing to ourselves so our brothers and sisters may grow and live. When it is professed and lived with faith, obedience reveals a luminous path of self-giving that can help the world rediscover the value of sacrifice and the capacity for lasting relationships that go beyond feelings of the moment.”
