Breton O.F.M., Valentine; Oligny O.F.M., Paul J. (Translated by) Lady Poverty
To St. Francis, poverty, which most of us regard as a negative thing and an abstraction, was our Lady Poverty, a person and a playmate; yes, the bride of the religious. But there is a deeper reason why the saints loved poverty - because they were following our Lord Jesus Christ. Being rich, for our sakes he became poor; if he stripped himself, on earth, of all the glory and privileges that belonged to a divine person, was it too much that they should strip themselves of those perishable goods by which one man is distinguished from his fellowmen? And should not a Christ follower empty himself of all selfishness and adhere to God's will in obedience, so that he may be filled with all the fulness of God? Father Breton teaches the true scale of values in a Christian life in this classic book. 104 pages bound in cloth; there are two tiny holes at the top near the spine. The jacket has slight soiling to the front; the original price tag is on the front. Not price-clipped, in protective cover. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
