Of course, we have to listen, but we also have to engage. A <br \/>pilgrim does not return home in the same state as he or she was before setting out; this presupposes <br \/>that one gradually lets oneself be stripped, de-cluttered, impoverished, in order to open oneself to <br \/>the riches of God\u2019s gift. Bernadette was not giving her family a lesson in morality when she <br \/>appealed: &#8220;As long as they do not get rich!\u201d She opened up to them the perspective she gained from <br \/>contemplating the other world at the Grotto. <br \/><br \/>Personal poverty is humiliating and dehumanising yet wealth which is not shared, degrades and <br \/>corrupts us. The Gospel does not promote social revolution, but revolutionises hearts leading the <br \/>master to become a servant and wash the feet of the poorest. This is not a simple reversal of roles, <br \/>for the two discover that they are brothers, loved by the same Father, stirred by the same heart. <br \/><br \/>From the beginning, Lourdes has triggered this revolution of hearts. The &#8220;rich&#8221; are willing to strain to <br \/>carry the stretchers of the infirm, whom they call &#8220;our VIPs, the sick&#8221;. But even in a charitable <br \/>organisation, we are tempted to claim, our rights and privileges. Let us die to the old self with its <br \/>rights and privileges in order to welcome the happiness of the promised Kingdom, already given to <br \/>us in the joy of an outstretched hand. <br \/><br \/>In Lourdes, we aim to show true solidarity with concrete gestures, that lead us to continue doing it in <br \/>our day to day life back home.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8248bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a8248bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-08bd1bb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"08bd1bb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-0954d4d\" data-id=\"0954d4d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-744cd99b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"744cd99b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>The Way of Bernadette, marked out by Mary<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>The Way of the Gospel, proclaimed to the poor, despite all the misery, evil and even the mud<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>The taste of the well-spring which is a happiness that needs to be shared<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Communion with the very life of Jesus, who became poor to enrich us with his poverty.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d4a067a\" data-id=\"d4a067a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a004a0f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a004a0f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"472\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lourdes-france.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/medaillon_2019_4x4cm.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15183\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lourdes-france.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/medaillon_2019_4x4cm.jpg 472w, https:\/\/www.lourdes-france.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/medaillon_2019_4x4cm-300x296.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lourdes-france.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/medaillon_2019_4x4cm-284x280.jpg 284w, https:\/\/www.lourdes-france.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/medaillon_2019_4x4cm-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a8f7a7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2a8f7a7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #e8a700;\">Bernadette&#8217;s\u00a0<\/span>poverty and wealth<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-443bfff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"443bfff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Bernadette knew all types of poverty; physical, material, intellectual, social &#8230; she encountered <br \/>misunderstanding and contempt.<\/p><p>She benefitted from a two-fold wealth, love and prayer first in the family, and later in community. <br \/>She wanted to share this happiness with the poor. <i>&#8220;I love the poor, I love to care for the sick: I will <br \/>stay with the sisters of Nevers.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><p>Bernadette knew true happiness: <i>&#8220;Oh no, Bernadette, you&#8217;re not poor; you are happy, yes, happy!<\/i> <br \/>(Bishop Thibault)<\/p><p>As we examine this paradoxical link between poverty and happiness, we are helped by the figure of <br \/>this other saint of Lourdes, patron of the Hospitality, Benedict Joseph Labre, the beggar saint. He <br \/>was canonised in 1881, at a time when it was thought that material progress and medicine would <br \/>succeed in promoting a model of humanity permanently free of misery. Further, canonising a down-<br \/>and-out was considered scandalous!<\/p><p><i>&#8220;God is waiting elsewhere,&#8221;<\/i> were the words with which Benedict Labre (1748-1783), son of peasants <br \/>from Amettes (Pas-de-Calais), was repeatedly refused entrance to the monastic life. Then, at the age <br \/>of 21, he set out, going from shrine to shrine, with a shoulder bag, and a crucifix around his neck.<\/p><p>He trekked 30,000 kilometres, passing through Santiago de Compostela, Loreto, and Rome. He set <br \/>off on the road in order to find out what God expected of him, and he came to understand &#8211; through <br \/>surrender and detachment &#8211; that his vocation was exactly that; to be a pilgrim.<\/p><p>In Rome he was living in arch No. 43 of the Colosseum! Just before Easter 1783, he was discovered <br \/>not far form there, dying on the steps of the church of Madonna dei Monti. A neighbour took him <br \/>into his house, and it was there that he died on Wednesday, 16th April, at the age of 35, the same <br \/>age as Bernadette!<\/p><p>He would not have desired a different life for all the gold in the world any more than Mother Teresa <br \/>would have stopped caring for the dregs of humanity whom she served. She did it for Jesus&#8217; sake! <br \/>There is a secret here that needs to be revealed. <i>&#8220;This poor man, who lacks everything, seems to <br \/>possess all that he has sought, and we ask him for the source of his joy.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><p>This is a secret that Mary knows and shares: she empties herself to be filled with grace, the presence <br \/>of God who gives himself. Mary receives everything and retains nothing for herself. She reverses the <br \/>curse of poverty by making it the condition in which God gives Himself. He becomes the servant, <br \/>humbling himself to become one with with those he loves. He joins himself to His handmaid. A gift <br \/>bringing joy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a30e1af elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a30e1af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #e8a700;\">&#8220;The Good News is proclaimed to the poor&#8221; <\/span>(Lk 7: n22)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54dfa91f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54dfa91f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>These are the last words of Jesus&#8217; response to those sent by John the Baptist, questioning him about <br \/>his mission: &#8220;Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect another? Healings, even <br \/>resurrections, conclude with the certainty that the poor are visited by the joyous announcement of <br \/>salvation. Theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.<\/p><p>This is the secret of happiness, and Bernadette embodies it, living by its light. The apparition in the <br \/>hollow of the Grotto brought satisfaction to Bernadette: she was marginalised, had not yet gone to <br \/>school, or made her first communion; now someone was taking an interest in her and reflected the <br \/>image the Father had of her: <i>&#8220;He has looked on his servant in her lowliness.\u201d It was a young girl, &#8220;as <br \/>young and as small as me,&#8221; she called me &#8220;vous.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><p>Bernadette existed for someone. Her ordinary life, lived in poverty and love, allowed her to <br \/>experience a heavenly happiness. In the hollow of the dark Grotto, from the depths of the cachot, <br \/>she heard and saw, without being able to deny that she had seen or heard. She lived the experience <br \/>of the first apostles, witnesses of the new life of the Risen One (Acts 4: 20).<\/p><p><i>So they left the council rejoicing because they had been considered worthy to suffer dishonour for the <br \/>sake of the name<\/i> (Acts 5: 41). The interrogations, the cachot itself, could no longer frighten <br \/>Bernadette, as they could no longer frighten the apostles, the same men who, just a short time <br \/>previously, were traitors, unfaithful and disloyal. <i>&#8220;It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.\u201d<\/i> <br \/>(Gal 2: 20). The Good News does not reside in an espoused belief, but is associated with a presence, <br \/>&#8220;more intimate to myself than myself&#8221;.<\/p><p>Bernadette remained herself, she did not receive any preferential treatment. Her confidence was <br \/>not undermined by being addressed as <i>&#8220;foolish child&#8221;<\/i> and <i>&#8220;good for nothing&#8221;<\/i>. She acknowledged: <i>&#8220;It <br \/>is because I was the most ignorant that the Blessed Virgin chose me.\u201d<\/i> She welcomed the response <br \/>that her superior made to the bishop of Nevers when she made her first profession, that she would <br \/>keep Sister Marie-Bernard at the mother house, and she must not consider this a privilege. She <br \/>readily accepts it: <i>&#8220;I told you, my lord, that I was good for nothing! &#8220;<\/i><\/p><p><i>&#8220;Yes, Mademoiselle, Bernadette, I\u2019m just that,&#8221;<\/i> she said to a new sister who was surprised to see her. <br \/><em>&#8220;There were so many young sisters in front of whom I would have knelt rather than Bernadette.\u201d<\/em> <br \/>Holiness does not reveal itself in one\u2019s appearance but in one\u2019s heart. One has to open one\u2019s own <br \/>heart to see into the other person\u2019s heart.<\/p><p>We are invited to open ourselves to God, who finds his joy in delighting his creatures, who seeks <br \/>them when they are lost, reaching out to them in their poverty who wants to impart to them his <br \/>Breath, his Life. This is how he recognises the souls of the poor, as they reach towards the One on <br \/>whom they depend. God reveals himself by giving himself. <i>&#8220;What would you do,&#8221;<\/i> asked Benedict <br \/>Joseph\u2019s confessor, to put him to the test, <i>&#8220;what would you do if an angel told you that you were <br \/>damned? &#8211; I would still trust in Mercy.\u201d<\/i> A trust in God, who can only love and give himself. This is <br \/>how we experience the greatest pilgrimage, which moves us from fear to love. God is my Father, <br \/>Jesus is my brother, recognised in the most vulnerable.<\/p><p>Bernadette would find her happiness and her vocation in the service of the poorest. So, she chose to <br \/>enter the convent of the Sisters of Charity of Nevers. She understood that the Lord who visited her, <br \/>reveals himself to her now in the person of the poorest. <i>&#8220;The more disgusting the poor person is, the <br \/>more he is to be loved.\u201d<\/i> Such is the happiness of the other world, capable of transfiguring apparent <br \/>ugliness with the kiss of love.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37058e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"37058e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #e8a700;\">\u201cDo not say, \u2018I am too young.\u2019 But go to whomsoever I send you.\u201d <\/span>(Jeremiah 1: 7)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64311b28 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"64311b28\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><i>&#8220;Even poor people can be given a mission and become servants of the Gospel. This is the conviction <br \/>of the Shiloh pilgrimage to Rome, inspired by Father Joseph Wresinski. Further, the Pope endorsed <br \/>this: I would like to ask you a favour, more than a favour, to give you a mission: a mission that only <br \/>you, in your poverty, will be able to accomplish. Let me explain: Jesus, at times, was very strict and <br \/>strongly reprimanded those who did not embrace the Father&#8217;s message. He addressed this beautiful <br \/>word &#8220;blessed&#8221; to the poor, to those who are hungry, to those who cry, to those who are hated and <br \/>persecuted, but he also uttered another which made people scared! He said &#8220;woe!&#8221; And he said it to <br \/>the rich, to those well-satisfied with food, to those who now laugh, to those who like to be praised <br \/>(see Lk 6: 24-26), to the hypocrites (see Mt 23: 15 f). I give you the mission to pray for them, so that <br \/>the Lord may change their hearts. (6 July 2016)<\/i><\/p><p>Bernadette is not only shown respectful attention, she is charged with a &#8220;mission&#8221; for the priests, <br \/>much as the holy women at the empty tomb were sent to the apostles by the risen Jesus. <i>&#8220;Go and <br \/>tell the priests that they should build a chapel here, and that people should come in procession.\u201d <\/i><br \/>Women initiated the building of the Church, and they continue throughout the ages to wake <br \/>dormant men. They are the guardians of the power of life, always ready to rally.<\/p><p>A mission is not advertising but giving birth. The poor have nothing to give but are able to share their <br \/>lives. Meeting the poor can help us fill the spiritual void that many are experiencing today. <i>&#8220;If you <br \/>are in pain, find someone who needs to be comforted.\u201d<\/i> With these words Mother Teresa gave a new <br \/>impetus to tired hearts. And Abb\u00e9 Pierre recruits the first companion of Emma\u00fcs by asking a young <br \/>person who wanted to commit suicide to first help him carry a mattress to the home of a poor <br \/>person.<\/p><p><i>&#8220;See the miracle of poverty! Yes, the rich were foreigners; but the service of the poor \u2018naturalises\u2019 <br \/>them.&#8221;<\/i> (Bossuet, Sermon for the ninth Sunday before Easter, 2) Even before we serve, simply <br \/>meeting someone poorer than we are, opens our eyes and our hearts to something beyond <br \/>appearances, and brings joy through the meeting of hearts.<\/p><p><i>&#8220;You know nothing, but you understand everything.\u201d<\/i> It is not acceptable to be poor, but it is <br \/>necessary: <i>&#8220;The rich are burdened, and because of that, they flounder.&#8221;<\/i> (in a sharing with people of <br \/>the street).<\/p><p><i>\u201cI praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise <br \/>and learned and revealed them to little children.\u201d<\/i> (Mt 11, Lk 10) The &#8220;poor&#8221; understand the Gospel <br \/>from within! We may wish to begin preparations for our pilgrimages with people in poverty. The St. <br \/>Lawrence Network will be able to provide a starter text, based on a meditation of Luke 6.<\/p><p>Mary entrusted Bernadette with pointing out the path to true happiness. She knew how to reveal to <br \/>sinners the One who loves them. <i>&#8220;Since you are a sinner, I shall repeat the Blessed Virgin\u2019s smile for <br \/>you.\u201d<\/i> It&#8217;s not just about being kind, but about understanding what Jesus meant when He said in <br \/>Luke, <i>&#8220;Blessed are the poor&#8221;<\/i> then immediately adds: <i>&#8220;But woe to you, the rich, for you have your <br \/>consolation! Woe to you who are sated now, because you will be hungry! &#8230;&#8221;<\/i> In St. Matthew, Jesus\u2019 <br \/>preaching begins with the pronouncement of the Beatitudes and concludes, in chapter 23, with a <br \/>series of&#8221; curses &#8220;that target the <i>&#8220;Scribes and Pharisees, the hypocrites&#8221;! <\/i><a href=\"\/en\/celebration\"><span style=\"color: #e8a702;\">(see celebration)\u00a0<\/span><\/a><i><br \/><\/i><br \/>Mary introduces Bernadette to this choice between life or death, blessing or curse. <i>&#8220;Therefore, <br \/>choose life, that you may live, you and your offspring.&#8221;<\/i> (Deuteronomy 30,19). Mary teaches as a <br \/>mother, which makes Bernadette desire to &#8220;stay poor&#8221;, to live and share the happiness of God.<\/p><p>&#8220;A poor church for the poor&#8221;: this is Pope Francis\u2019 great desire because it testifies to another wealth <br \/>that only the poor can know. Sharing that flows from our experience of poverty can really enrich us! <br \/>First, we need to accept and not delegate this sharing. We are all poor people who need help, who <br \/>need to be loved. We exist as the fruits of mercy.<\/p><p><i>By bringing dirty, muddy water to her mouth, it is as if Bernadette <b>agreed to be in communion with <br \/>the misery of the world<\/b>. As if she welcomed it whilst, at the same time, knowing that the water she <br \/>found, came from God, and that it was thanks to God that she could, without fear, bring to her <br \/>mouth what was defiled<\/i> (P Etienne Grieu, Servons Brotherhood). This is the moment from which <br \/>healings begin to occur.<\/p><p>In 2019 in Lourdes, we might take up this sign suggested at the gathering of the Diaconia: to place <br \/>our hands into the mud then go together to wash with the water of the Grotto. Let the misery of the <br \/>world penetrate us, let us admit our own misery so that we may be purified by one another. This is a <br \/>gesture that can help us <b>understand confession and its communal <\/b>dimension.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a436d44 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a436d44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #e8a700;\">&#8220;You are the one in poverty, Lord Jesus! &#8221; <\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37dc21a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"37dc21a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Bernadette is happy, and in the world of Jesus, the world of God, we are happy with her. Our <br \/>brethren from the Eastern Church tell us, &#8220;Our social doctrine is the Trinity! Each person surrenders <br \/>himself totally to the other and receives back from the other. We are reborn of Mercy. We are <br \/>grafted onto the filial life of Jesus, who desires unceasingly from God the Father what he unceasingly <br \/>receives from him. He is the poor man, who receives and gives thanks.<\/p><p>In this way the Christian, by baptism, becomes that child, who does not create himself, but gratefully <br \/>receives the life entrusted to him. He is the poor man who depends on the gift given to him. The <br \/>Christian looks at and imitates Jesus, the firstborn. The state of childhood, the state of poverty, is not <br \/>a biological or social reality, but a gift and a call from the Spirit. Pope Francis expresses this in his <br \/>Message for the 1st World Day of the Poor: <i>Let us never forget that, for Christ\u2019s disciples, poverty is <br \/>above all a call to follow Jesus in his own poverty. It means walking behind him and beside him, a <br \/>journey that leads to the beatitude of the Kingdom of heaven<\/i> (see Mt 5: 3, Lk 6:20).<\/p><p><i>For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that although he was rich, he became poor for your <br \/>sake, so that you by his poverty could become rich.<\/i> (2 Co 8: 9)<\/p><p>The Pope continues, in his homily at the meeting on 19th November 2017: <i>Just as you did it to one of <br \/>the least of these my brothers, you did it to me\u201d<\/i> (Mt 25:40). <i>These least of our brethren, whom he <br \/>loves dearly, are the hungry and the sick, the stranger and the prisoner, the poor and the abandoned, <br \/>the suffering who receive no help, the needy who are cast aside. On their faces we can imagine <br \/>seeing Jesus\u2019 own face; on their lips, even if pursed in pain, we can hear his words: \u201cThis is my body\u201d <br \/>(Mt 26:26). In the poor, Jesus knocks on the doors of our heart, thirsting for our love. When we <br \/>overcome our indifference, and in the name of Jesus, we give of ourselves for the least of his <br \/>brethren, we are his good and faithful friends, with whom he loves to dwell. <br \/><\/i><br \/><i>There, in the poor, we find the presence of Jesus, who, though rich, became poor (see 2 Cor 8:9). For <br \/>this reason, in them, in their weakness, a \u201csaving power\u201d is present. And if in the eyes of the world <br \/>they have little value, they are the ones who open to us the way to heaven; they are our \u201cpassport to <br \/>paradise\u201d. For us it is an evangelical duty to care for them, as our real riches, and to do so not only by <br \/>giving them bread, but also by breaking with them the bread of God\u2019s word, which is addressed first <br \/>to them. To love the poor means to combat all forms of poverty, spiritual and material.<\/i><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Jesus is the Saviour, who wants to reach humanity in its entirety, from deep in his heart, the centre <br \/>from which all the work of creation becomes possible again. Healings are only signs of an infinitely <br \/>greater gift, which calls for the renunciation of self-reliance. The poor that we are, need to believe, <br \/>to hope, to love. Let&#8217;s listen again to Madeleine Delbrel:<i> &#8220;We have forgotten the faith of the poorest. <br \/>They have been left alone, alone with their belief in the human spirit, where alone in a universe with <br \/>half-truths, they were told lies. Capitalism has its proletariat, but so does the truth.&#8221;<\/i> <br \/><br \/><i>&#8220;It is an intelligence that has become exclusively utilitarian, and utilitarian only for a limited <br \/>definition of happiness that I call misery of the mind.&#8221;<\/i> The only question that all too often interests <br \/>us is, <i>&#8220;What&#8217;s the point?\u201d<\/i> We cut the link between charity and belief. Yet it is in the rags of a beggar, <br \/>or on the face of a sick child, that we find joy. This joy leads us to commit ourselves to serve.<br \/>\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>God is infinitely more practical than the best human schemes against the abandonment and lies of <br \/>which the poor are victims. Our charity should never be limited to useful plans nor should we reduce <br \/>poverty to only a few types! Progress in these areas requires an awareness of one&#8217;s own poverties <br \/>and, more fundamentally, it calls for a union with Christ, living with a heart close to the least of our <br \/>brothers. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-017cc27 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"017cc27\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"color: #e8a700;\">He made a covenant with us <\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-813cfc1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"813cfc1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our poverty is our wealth, our need of and joy in relationships with others.
