But there is one slavery that is stronger than any other: that of one's own self. The 'ego' can become an executioner who constantly tortures man, procuring for him the deepest of oppression which is 'sin.'\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He explained that sin is not the violation of a code of conduct, but it is to be enslaved and to incorporate vices that condition people's daily lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>POPE FRANCIS<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>\u201cThere is no rest for one who lives in gluttony and lust; the craving to possess destroys the avaricious, the fire of anger and the woodworm of envy corrode human relations; and the ego centrism of arrogance isolates and alienates him from others. True slavery is that of not knowing love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>During the greetings in different languages, the pope publicly praised two groups: the newlyweds, for going against the tide, and the educators of Venezuela, priests, religious and laity for their work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 12, 2018.
