To: Salvation
I was struck by the invocation of the theme from Exodus - the imagery of people searching for union with God. The Pope was aware its the first day of Passover and this invocation is not an accident. And the rest of his message built on it by arguing that freedom without God is not really freedom - its a different form of slavery. We will really be free only when we extend thanks to the One who implanted the very idea of freedom in our souls. We need God to complete us - by experiencing freedom that can be found only in the joy and strength of faith in Him.

Good analysis! That was an excellent connection with Passover.
