Yes, words are cheap, and many of us abound in them. Actions are costly, and the saints abound in them. Without action our faith is dead.

—Fr. Thomas Dubay

from his book, Happy Are You Poor

A SIMPLE LIFESTYLE

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. 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.
