PARRHESIA : FREEDOM of SPEECH;
A definition from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, §2778:
“This power of the Spirit who introduces us to the Lord's Prayer is expressed in the liturgies of East and of West by the beautiful, characteristically Christian expression: parrhesia, straightforward simplicity, filial trust, joyous assurance, humble boldness, the certainty of being loved.”[29]

through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the
