My dear brothers and sons, do not be ashamed to go begging for alms, for God became poor for our sake in this world. That is why we have chosen the road of genuine poverty in imitation of his example and that of his most holy Mother; this is the inheritance that our Lord Jesus Christ has acquired and left us, to us and to those who, following him, have chosen to live in poverty.
