St. Francis Sales Council: Obesity, Chastity, and Poverty

Father Jacob Bertrand: Poverty is ultimately about being attached to the right things in the right way, you know, not having idols that are not God. He says a spirit of generosity and an actual living of generosity helps to live that sort of detached life, detached from the material things of this world. "We give from our surplus, we give from what we have, even if it's a small amount," he adds.
