Meditation of the Day an excerptfrom Mystical City of God by
Venerable Mary of Agretta, pageeighty five.
Voluntary poverty restores toman the nobility of his
condition, liberating him fromvile servitude and reinstating
him his noble freedom andmastery of all things.
(02:35):
The soul is never more amistress than when she despises
them, and only then has she themore firm possession and makes
the more excellent use of richeswhen she gives them away or
leaves them of her own freewill.
Only then her appetite for themis best satiated when she does
not care to possess them.
Then above all is the heart setfree and made capable of the
(02:58):
treasures of the divinity, forwhich it is furnished by the
Creator with almost infinitecapacity.

the Lord, every knee shall bowto me, and every tongue shall

obedience by word and deed, bythe power of signs and wonders,
