The virtue of poverty consists in living with our heart in God, and therefore detached from material things.
We have to learn to abandon ourselves, leaving the results of our struggle in God’s hands, for only abandonment, trust in God, can overcome this unrest.
Forgetting about self is not simply an ascetical technique. It is a divine gift that radically transforms the soul, making it understand and love, for God, with God and in God.
Christian materialism, instead of making us despise consumer goods, should move us to take good care of the material wealth that we possess.
The gift of fortitude, which is so necessary in our path toward heaven, is obtained from God through prayer and the sacraments.
