Extraordinary Way To Salvation

Poverty is an extraordinary way of salvation, since it nourishes humility, the root of perfection. Its fruits are manifold, though hidden. This is the Gospel treasure hidden in the field. To buy it we have to sell everything, and what we cannot sell, we should consider worthless in comparison to the treasure.

  1. Even for those who balk at the idea of poverty, these "other" people can just consider how much less clutter they can survive on. Forgo a brandnew car or refridgerator, and give to others less fortunate.

    As for Cheryl's comment about spiritual poverty, I thought that in materialistic poverty we are reliant on God, but in spiritual poverty it is when we are unable to see how God lifts us & sustains us; keeps our very lives.

    Of course, dependence on God is the goal, and reality, that we all attempt to achieve.
