Living out Poverty: St Clare of Assisi - The Inner Life - August 11, 2025

The Inner Life

Fr. James Kubicki joins Patrick to discuss Living out Poverty: St Clare of Assisi * (3:30) Who was St Care? * When does something turn from a need to a want? (19:51) Break 1 * (21:52) what does Luke teach us about poverty? * (31:24) Email – How specific do we need to be about only having 1 coat? * How can we reconcile the fear of Poverty with the path to Joy? * Mary - I live in poverty because of an illness. Forced to retire early and go on disability. Very hard to feel afraid all the time and yet focus on higher things. God and scripture study. When you feel afraid about health, financial, that can so easily take over. (40:28) Break 2 * (42:02) Vince - Father was talking about trust and how that order of nuns could have had a lot of money. What I wonder is I try to trust but I sometimes worry it might be laziness. I hope it's more that I'm trusting God. Where does trust, but actually doing things you're supposed to do...figuring out that line.
