“Poverty is an easy way to God. Poverty is the mother of humility.It is difficult to preserve humility amid riches as purity in the midst of delights and luxury. Poverty sets free. When a person delights in and gloats over his posessions, in reality he limits, even looses his freedom. The mania of riches has enslaved him. He is lowered in status, being no longer the owner, but the owned. He has surbornidated himself to his goods. Such servile subjection becomes evident in the fever that dominates him and the anguish that racks him when he looses some of his posessions. In short, true liberty is not found except in voluntary poverty. Poverty is true riches. So precious is poverty that God’s Only Begotton Son come on earth in search of it. In heaven he had super abundance of all goods. Nothing was lacking there but poverty.” —St. Anthony of Pauda
