Pope Francis This spiritual poverty is closely linked to what Saint Ignatius of Loyola calls “holy indifference”, which brings us to a radiant interior freedom: “We need to train ourselves to be indifferent in our attitude to all created things, in all that is permitted to our free will and not forbidden; so that on our part, we do not set our hearts on good health rather than bad, riches rather than poverty, honour rather than dishonour, a long life rather than a short one, and so in all the rest”. Esta pobreza de espíritu está muy relacionada con aquella «santa indiferencia» que proponía san Ignacio de Loyola, en la cual alcanzamos una hermosa libertad interior: «Es menester hacernos indiferentes a todas las cosas criadas, en todo lo que es concedido a la libertad de nuestro libre albedrío, y no le está prohibido; en tal manera, que no queramos de nuestra parte más salud que enfermedad, riqueza que pobreza, honor que deshonor, vida larga que corta, y por consiguiente en todo lo demás».

“The Lord’s tomb is empty! He is Risen! Jesus lived, died and rose that we might live, die and rise to eternal life with him. When the spirit of Jesus delivers us from doubt or confusion or fear or grief, we leave an empty tomb behind. Whenever we choose with grace to let go of envy or anger or greed, we are raised from “a little death.” Whenever prayer and the help and example of others strengthen us to overcome an addiction or sinful behavior, we step out from a darkened grave into the light of God’s loving regard. We are an Easter people, and the Savior’s victory over the grave is ours as well. Adapted from Archbishop George Niederauer, Give Us This Day, March 2013.
