Laws of Love
St. Paul has a unique vision of freedom. We often think that freedom means I can do what I want without interference from an outside source, such as a bureaucracy or a dictator. For Paul, freedom is not so much being free from oppression as being free to love and serve those around us.
What would stop us from loving others? It could be fear: "I'm not sure I would be able to do any good. I'm afraid of going into a bad neighborhood to help the homeless." Or it could be attachment to possessions or even to our family--the man in the Gospel wasn't free to follow Jesus because he thought it meant leaving his family behind.
Paul talks about another kind of freedom when he says that following the Spirit means freedom from the Law (Galatians 5:18). He meant people who were obsessed with keeping all the laws and customs that were part of the Jewish tradition. Taken to an extreme, you would have to memorize every law on the books to be sure you did not break one. The freedom of the Spirit is a life lived out of love. As long as we love one another, we wouldn't have to worry about breaking the law, for God's laws are all examples of how to love one another.
