OUR -EXTREME BUT DIGNIFIED- POVERTY…

The reason for our extreme poverty ?

 

From the Meditations V.V.:

<< BUT IF JESUS, BEING BORN IN A STABLE, BECAME POOR, AND THEN IN ALL OF HIS MISSION LIVED OFF ALMS (CF. LK 8, 3), THEN, WHAT’S THE MEANING OF THAT BIBLICAL SENTENCE THAT SAYS: << I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE UPRIGHT ABANDONED, NOR THEIR CHILDREN BEG FOR BREAD. >> ? ( Cf. Ps. 36, 25)

 

    Note Well: my dear and sweet little sheep, poverty or misery, that is to look for or to beg for bread in itself is not a good, because for a high sense of Justice every one should have some , and in abundance ! (Cf. Ps 131, 15; Pr 30, 7 - 9)

    So then also for this reason the Son of God became poor, so that every one ( and in all senses ) could have some ! For this reason explains the Apostle:

        

<< Jesus Christ: from rich that He was, became poor for you,             

    So that (also) you became rich by means of his poverty ! >> (2 Cor 8,9)

  

[And  the Council confirms :

 

    << As Christ has completed the Redemption by means of Poverty and persecution, Like so the Church is Called to take the same way to communicate to man kind “ the fruits of the Salvation ! ” >> ( Cf. Vat. Counc. II <st chap. No. 8b>> ) ].

 

    For this reason also I at the imitation of Jesus Christ, from rich that I was have made myself poor, with the facts and in the Truth (inclusive of my name that I have never here revealed), so that also you and others can become more and more rich by means of my extreme poverty, for which I’ve left also more than a great job that dignified my being, to give it to more than one father of a family who lacked it !, even if I now have to live off (a humiliating) alms, so to have more time for God, or to better say “all my time for God, so that the Divine things that nor you and nor others meditated, because not having the time for God… Now I meditate them, so to explain them (in a brotherly way) also to you !

    And even before hand, so that many children through out the whole world, don’t die of hunger and of cold, for the cause of my (ex) super superfluous, even if now, my Child-like Spirit (that wants to imitate for the good of everybody, the Divine Baby) risks to be killed by the many pungent insults, as for example : “ go to work idler ! ”, without knowing however, that I work for the Eternal Father, yes, for love of the Lord… for love, so to not let anybody (including these people who insult) eternally die …, and to help “especially all the Child of Spirit deprived of necessities and, above all to make every one in all senses rich and, in more, for all eternity !

    # Yes, my dear and sweet little sheep, with all of my defective humanity yet to be improved, also know that all this whole altruism that you’ve just listened to, I truly carry in my heart… and in Jesus Christ, I want to carry all the more; and I tell you all this, not to be admired by those who don't look for the Will of God (Cf. Mt 6, 1) that is from my left of which speaks the Gospel (Cf. Mt 6, 3), For these (from me) it will be difficult to know the secret of my good works (Cf. Mt 6, 4) that I complete in the Name of the Lord (Cf. Col 3,17), and this I demonstrate the fact, that in these Sacred Documents my name remains always in secret, that is it never be revealed, but I let you know this, my dear and sweet ones – on the right -, who look for the Will of God (Cf. Mt 25, 31.. ), because you in this reading, are able “to see” so many more “Good Works” (like so that to have a lot more light so to better face up to your next steps towards the of the Will of God) #, like so to be able to give a lot of more Glory to God, that to such intentions tells me: << Like so shine your light before man, so that they “see” your “Good Works” and give Glory to your Father that is in Heaven >>. (Mt 5, 16) Amen !       

    Yes, my dear and sweet little sheep, I want to be like so forever ! All the more altruist… as I in the same way I would like that you and many others also be, a little like those people of which it be written:

    << ( And ) their great joy and their extreme poverty are transformed in the wealth of their generosity. I can testify in fact that they have given according to their means and also beyond their means, spontaneously, asking us with insistence the grace to take part of this service to the favour of the saints ! >>. (2 Cor 8, 2 - 4)

    Yes, my dear and sweet little sheep, like so need be done, a little as those pious women of whom it be written:

<< There were with Him (other than) the Twelve (also) some women who had been healed from bad spirits and from illness; Maria of Magdalene, of which seven demons had gone out, Joanne, wife of Cusa, administrator of Herod, Susan and many others, that assisted him with their goods ! >> (Cf. Lk 8, 2-3)

Or even better as Jesus with his disciples who from rich that he was,

became poor in all senses to propose to everyone the solution,

that is that if everyone would become poor (like Jesus) in all senses,

      

everything would be everyone’s, and nothing would be no-one’s,

like so for this Justice, other than no longer being,

nor arguments (to give or to have), nor competitions , nor quarrels,

nor wars caused by these motives of injustice,

 

there would be also and automatically accordingly be:

Peace, Love and Happiness, and in more, Eternal Life and Glorious Immortality !

Forever, and from one Eternity to the next ! (Cf. Sir 39,20); Wauuuuuw!

 

    Yes, my dear and sweet little sheep, for this Jesus with his disciples, from rich that he was became poor in all senses, to make us rich by means of his extreme poverty, that is to propose to all “the Solution” at the cost of living by that humiliating begging (Cf. Sir 4, 21), also to proclaim and to give to everyone, that Boundless and Glorious Eternal Wealth, with this childish but Divine Truth ! Amen !

    Therefore have you understood my dear and sweet little sheep what means << I have never seen the Upright abandoned nor their children beg for bread ? >>.  Yes ! I think that you have understood, that poverty in itself is not a good, since it alone would only be sterile, but I think that you’ve also understood, that only by means of it, if it be seen as the straw that carried the Baby Jesus, and as the dry wood that carried the Man Jesus, it be possible to transform all into good, including:

                  

<< the humble Son of the Man, Poorly Nailed >>

<< in the valiant Son of  God , Gloriously Resurrected ! >>.

 

Therefore have you understood, my dear and sweet little sheep with the confident intelligence and the healthy curiosity ? Certainly, having said this, you, more confused than convinced, you could still say to me:

 

<< But then if Christ became poor, and then lived off alms, what does that phrase of St. Paul mean that says: “ Work with your hands, as we have ordered you at the aims of conducting a dignified life and of… not being in need of anybody ” >> ? Cf. (1Ts 4, 11-12)

 

Certainly, my dear and sweet little sheep [ that this phrase is really more than double cut, because
 
I think that here, St. Paul, - other - than wanting to indicate to the Christian communities, to not be in need of any of those types of pagans that can continually accuse things, so that other than God, no-one can any longer say: “without us you can’t do anything”, since that it’s also written: << I have learnt to be efficient for myself in every occasion >> (Phil 4, 11 B), and since to such regards of these types of pagans (and not of others – Cf. Act 11, 3 - 10), explaining also St. John the evangelist when he says: << Without accepting anything from pagans >> (3Jn 7) ], it is also clear that here ( when Saint Paul says: << To.. not be in need of anybody >> Cf. 1Ts 4, 11-12), he refers more to a community of laymen than to those of the totally Consecrated, and surely he has also said this to avoid letting grow in both cases, communities of indecorous idlers that can burden upon the shoulders of all because they don't want to do anything, nor work of Meditation, nor work of Evangelization, nor manual work nor a slightest bit of good, for the necessary edification of the neighbour and above all for the Glory of God; otherwise it would be an insensibility to think diversely, that is “to think of needing no-one”, since that the same St. Paul then explains: << “I Accepted from them the necessary to live”, at the scope of serving you. Finding myself along side you and also “being in need”, I have not been a burden upon anyone, because the brothers coming from Macedonia have provided to my necessities >>. (Cf. 2Cor 11, 7-9)

    Therefore here St. Paul, more than saying: << to the aims of.. not be in need of anybody >> (Cf. 1Ts 4, 11-12), he wanted to mean “to the aims of not being a burden upon anybody” as in fact he himself continuing explains: << In every circumstance I have done the possible of not being a burden upon you and like so I will do in the future  >> (2Cor 11, 9 C).

     Therefore my dear and sweet little sheep, have you understood what it means: to be in humbling need, especially when one be found as such at the scope of serving the others, who perhaps don't even understand such point of view ?

    If still not not having understood well, I’ll now explain to you even more, from a dear friend of mine, who’s name is Saint Augustin, whom to such regards.. says:

<

It’s not that the Gospel almost be payment to sell,… Receiving also from the people

the necessary for maintenance, but the true reward for their service,

they re-promise to themselves from the Lord. The people in fact, will be never able to recompense adequately those who serve Him for the Love of the Gospel ! >>.

Therefore have you understood, my dear and sweet little sheep with the distinct intelligence and the healthy curiosity, what means this biblical phrase that says: << Jesus Christ, from rich that He was, became poor for you, so that (also) you become rich by means of his poverty  >>? Cf. (2 Cor 8, 9)

  

<<  God, made himself man, “small and poor”, so that also

    the man that makes himself “small and poor”, becomes God ! >> 

                                                                                                                                                                      ( F.V. ) .  (Cf. Off. of Read.4 Jan. - 2nd Read. m.f. )

 

    << I understand !, I understand ! The treasure is here*: If I truly imitate this little Child, from the stable right up onto the tree.., one day I’ll too become a Star, but firstly I have to begin from the stable of poverty… a little like the ox, that to eat, sooner or later must lower the horns of pride into the manger of life, otherwise it will die ! >>.

 

<< THANK YOU MARY, THANK YOU BROTHER, THANK YOU  JESUS >>. << GLORY TO GOD >>  AMEN  !
