Giving...yet Not!

from MyJoysComplete! Hosted by Joyce Stellus

The Catechism of the Catholic Church places the story of the poor widow at the beginning of a section entitled “Poverty of Heart," stating, “The precept of detachment from riches is obligatory for entrance into the Kingdom of heaven” (CCC #2544). The word obligatory is key here, as it means that without detachment from worldly goods, we cannot enter heaven because, after all, we will not be taking anything we own with us anyway. So, think of your most prized possessions. Are you ready to let those go at a moment’s notice, just as the poor widow was?https://corpuschristiphx.org/blog.php?month=202411&id=1704008793&cat=&pg=1&title=The+Poor+Widow%26%238217%3Bs+Poverty+of+Heart
