TEACHINGS ABOUT CHARITY AND FAITH

All the impulses of a person's will and so of that person's love is called FREEDOM. This being what freedom is, it reveals itself in the delight that belongs to the activities of will and thought and to resulting action and speech; for all delight belongs to some love and all love belongs to the will, and the will is the indispensable element (esse) of a person's life.
