What It Really Means to Be Poor in Spirit

Published August 13

Everything we have is a gift from God — given not just for ourselves, but for the whole human family. Fr. Malachy reflects on the “poverty of spirit” that frees us to share what we’ve been given, recognize our deep belonging to one another, and find joy in generosity. Discover how detachment leads to deeper connection, and how giving away what you’ve received can fill your life with joy.
