For me, the greatest poverty of our time is also the doom of our time. The growing secularist society that we live in and the retreat from religious conviction equates to poverty, in my opinion. Too many of our youth commit suicide by the thousands due to the alienation of family members, due to the decreasing religious influence in our lives. There needs to be an upswing to claim that umbilical cord.
For there is only so much monetary and material goods can provide, the spirit of a man can not be satiated by food, sex, money, riches. The spirit, which is eternal, can only be satiated by God and his Grace. And if deprived of that Love, the spirit will deteriorate.
What does it mean to be poor? To lack riches; to lack something. Yes. I agree. The lacking of God in our daily lives. That is what it means to be poor.
