Sunday Sermon, August 3 -- Poverty of Spirit When Materially Rich
In the parable of the man who built bigger barns (Luke 12), we are exported to place our hope not in things of earth but in those of heaven. But how can we embrace poverty of spirit in the midst of material wealth?
We consider a sermon of St Basil the Great, and then also look to St Francis de Sales.
