Thank God for Free Will

Download MP3

Memorial of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini. Why do we have free will? Why didn’t God just make us into robots that serve Him? Father Dave reminds us that it is better to choose to love and serve than to be forced to. (Preached on Thursday, November 13th, 2008, 12:15pm, St. Malachy’s Church, Broadway and 49th, Times Square, New York City.)
