Divo Barsotti (1914-2006) was one of the great mystics of the 20th century.
Freedom is one of the fundamental themes not only of human thought, but above all of the religious life, and especially of Christianity. How can the life of a Christian here on earth be really lived in complete freedom, total freedom? Is it not the case that absolute freedom for humanity can only be attained in a future life?
We shall now meditate on this subject, and study it; not to understand it, of course, but just to get a clearer picture, which will also be useful in shedding light on the condition of us human beings here on earth; on the condition of humanity in relation to God; on humanity’s relationship with God in Christianity; and finally on life in Heaven.
