" Le maître spirituel qu'est Maurice Zundel accorde une grande importance à la liberté : elle est non seulement un…
désir, mais aussi un droit et même un devoir. La raison en est simple : seule la liberté nous garantit l'espace nécessaire à notre accomplissement, qui culmine dans le don de nous-mêmes à Dieu et aux autres. Au contraire des libertés civiles forcément limitées, la liberté que défend Zundel est d'abord intérieure. Mais elle a aussi une dimension sociale : la pauvreté empiète trop souvent sur cet espace de gratuité, vital à tout être humain, qui est le véritable objet du combat pour la justice. Le même souffle doit ainsi unifier vie intérieure, engagement auprès d'autrui et approche des questions politiques. "
