The Institute must be poor and rich at the same time: poor in our individual observance of poverty; rich in our means of apostolate (FSP 46, p. 38).

From Father Tom:  Failures in poverty--not unknown in Religious Life and perhaps especially in our time--closes the hand of Divine Providence--so the tradition goes and rightly so. Even smong us, it is important to read Articles 19 to 26 and be rather severe in jdging ourselves. Better get it right here than...hereafter.
