SUMMARY:Vigils Reading
DESCRIPTION:VOLUNTARY POVERTY \nFrom a sermon by St Bernard of Clairvaux3 \n◊◊◊ \nJesus entered into a certain fortified town\, and a certain woman\, named \nMartha\, received him into her home. The fortified town where Christ entered is \nvoluntary poverty\, which protects its inhabitants from twin attacks that assault \nlovers of this world: one’s own envy\, of course\, and that of another. You see\, \npoverty\, as long as it is considered wretched\, is not envied by others. And \nbecause poverty is voluntary\, it envies no one anything. \nThese two sisters signify the two lifestyles of those who love poverty. \nCertain careful people\, with Martha\, prepare two dishes\, that is\, correction of \nworks with the salt of contrition\, and works of piety with the seasoning of \ndevotion. But those who\, with Mary\, give all their time to God alone\, \ncontemplating what God is in the world\, what in human beings\, what in angels\, \nwhat in himself\, what in the condemned\, contemplate God as ruler and pilot in \nthe world\, liberator and helper of human beings\, flavor and beauty of angels\, \nbeginning and end in himself\, terror and horror of the condemned: wonderful \nin creatures\, lovable in human beings\, desirable in angels\, incomprehensible in \nhimself\, intolerable in the condemned. \n3Sermo 48\, Bernard of Clairvaux Monastic Sermons\, CF 68. pg. 244.
