The only security is hope... hope for the eventual triumph of the love of God in the world where evil reigns. It is the hope that the grace of God can finally work in the hearts and lives of the disciples of Jesus Christ and people of good will in destroying the forces of evil working restlessly in this world.
Most people believe that once people gain their freedom from oppressors, they became free. History shows that's not necessarily true. Our oppressors are not outside us but within us--pride, fear, covetousness... These sinful vices keep people in bondage using chains that no amount of uprising can break.
