Pope reflects on three forms of poverty

(ANSA) - Vatican City, October 18 Pope Francis in his morning homily during Mass at the Casa Santa Marta dwelled on the three ways of living poverty in the life of the Christian and said that even today there are many Christians persecuted for the Gospel.
    The pope spoke of the three forms of poverty to which the disciple is called: the first is to renounce riches, with a heart detached from money; the second is to accept persecution, large or small, even slander, because of the Gospel; and the third is the poverty of loneliness, to feel alone at the end of life.
