Wisdom from Fr. Thomas Dubay

 
 
 

A sharing manner of life is not optional. Creation belongs to all members of the human race, not mainly to the clever, intelligent, resourceful, well born. Sheer justice demands equitable participation.

—Fr. Thomas Dubay

from his book, Happy Are You Poor: The Simple Life and Spiritual Freedom

GOSPEL FRUGALITY

To the modern mind, the concept of poverty is often confused with destitution. But destitution emphatically is not the Gospel ideal. A love-filled sharing frugality is the message, and Happy Are You Poor explains the meaning of this beatitude lived and taught by Jesus himself. The renowned spiritual writer Dubay explains how material things are like extensions of our persons and thus of our love. If everyone lived this love there would be no destitution.
