Episode 18 - Poverty in the Life of a Consecrated Virgin (Book Study 6)


Listen Later

Does being consecrated mean owning few possessions? What does poverty look like in the world, compared to religious life? How can consecrated virgins live in such a way that material poverty lived in freedom leads to true spiritual poverty? Karen, Simi, Hannah and Dawn also discuss the risk of living in material poverty without authentic groundedness and human integration. They also share about their splurge items…!

 

We continue our book study of “My Beloved Is Mine and I Am His: Meditations on Brideship” - by Mother Mary Francis PCC, particularly the section on the Vow of Chastity.

Key quote: “Looking at the poor Christ in the radiance of your vow you discover that you must never have anywhere to lay your head except upon his heart. And the head of the bride laid upon the heart of the Beloved is close enough to see the radiance of his face. Poverty is the radiance of your mind wanting nothing but Christ.”
