“Neither physical nor geographical circumstances can restrict the freedom of loving souls.” (St. Bernard of Clairvaux).
The art of true love lies in the ability to integrate everything into something greater when one learns to see it from the perspective of our Heavenly Father. Even suffering and the most difficult circumstances can be overcome when the soul unites with God. In a sense, the soul becomes invincible because it finds the path to union with God amidst all circumstances. Thus, it does not allow itself to be overcome by negative circumstances and retains its freedom.
