simple lifestyle vs joy?
thirteen mariner hats are on a shelf in my room. different logos, colors. when i look at and wear them, it gives me joy
as a claretian, one aspect of the vow of poverty is embracing a simple lifestyle. in our materialistic culture, this means minimizing the “stuff” in our lives.
how many mariner hats are too many? can a simpler joy be had with fewer hats?
how has living this vow changed for me over the past thirty years? how has this vow changed since i moved back into my childhood home in seattle and live outside of claretian community?
Father. I am loving your posts! Thanks for always showing us that you are truly blessed by the Holy Spirit. You always give us a different way to look at things.
Hope all is well with you and your Mom!
