Spirit of poverty


Let’s all ask God to give us in His mercy His spirit of poverty. Yes, the spirit of poverty is the spirit of God; for to despise what God despises and value what He values, to seek what He approves and to be attached to what He loves, is to have the spirit of God, which is nothing else than to have the same desires and affections of God, to adopt the sentiments of God. (6 August 1655; SV XI, 212)
