In Scripture...
"... blessed are you who are poor: the kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are
you who are hungry now: you shall have your fill."
Luke 6:20-26

Poverty and Hunger
inspired by
Ignatius Loyola
Is it the poverty and the hunger that gives us the right to the kingdom of God? Is there blessing in poverty, alone, or is it that poverty gives us
a emptiness for everything except Divine Intimacy? Is there goodness
in hunger, alone, or is it the thrusting for what is missing at the heart
of who we are?
As a 1st Century disciple, 2000 years later, are we not
asked to sit on the mountain top of our soul's heart in the sacred solitude
and listen to the Lord as Christ speaks the beatitudes in the silence of our
soul's heart. As the Word rings in the deepest part of our being, will we hear? Will we be transformed from being poor to poverty of the Spirit? Will
we be filled with love in place of the starvation for the human food that
feeds our soul, not?
In the East, in the sitting, in the centering, in
the being, finding the question at the heart of our being will find the
living in mystery and will find a 1st Century disciple living in 2000 years
later.
Ignatius
