For those seeking to understand true poverty.

"Poverty" reveals how to combat material hardship.

You’ll find peace in embracing spiritual wealth.

Discover how Father Cantalamessa explores the different aspects of poverty through the lens of the Gospel, offering insights that inspire and challenge you to reflect on wealth and its true purpose

In four chapters Father Cantalamessa deals with each of four different aspects of poverty in the light of the Gospel message of Christ: Negative material poverty, an unfortunate social condition endured by far too many which is dehumanizing and must be combated; Positive material poverty, an evangelical ideal which liberates people from their inordinate attachments to the things of this world; Negative spiritual poverty, sometimes referred to as the poverty of the rich because it is characterized by the absence of spiritual wealth and of truly human values; and Positive spiritual poverty, otherwise known as the wealth of the poor, the finest blossom on the tree of biblical poverty. Following the example of St. Francis of Assisi the author shows how wealth, properly appreciated and used in the service of the poor, can actually be a source of blessing and peace.
