“God did not create…evil; but he left to human beings, as to angels, freedom in everything. Thus through their freedom some rise to the highest good, others rush headlong into the depths of evil. But you, man, why do you reject your freedom?
Why this reluctance to have to make an effort, to toil, to fight, to become the artificer of your own salvation? ‘My Father is working still,’ it is written, ‘and I am working’ (John 5.17).
Are you then reluctant to work, you who were created in order to create positively?”
