In Scripture...
"...each
has only what the Lord has given him..."
1 Cor 3:5-9 |
|
Accumulating, for
what? This
is the spirit of poverty to really get that all we have and will ever
need is what our Lord gives us. We have nothing which means
anything; only what our Lord gives each of us.
Sometimes it seems that we are accumulating for what. If accumulations
are not part of the given by our Lord, they will have no meaning in
our lives. In fact, these accumulations may be part of what holds us
back from our relationship with our Lord.
We come into this world naked. If only we can live in this
spirit of poverty and only take what the Lord is giving us each and
every day of our lives. Yes, live day by day.
Can we live as is written in Matthew Gospel, "If God so clothes
the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven
tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little
faith?"
The new life of creation given from the death of our neighbors on
September 11th, is the awareness that we have only what our Lord is
giving us by clothing us as our Risen Lord clothes the grass of the
field.
