  • He hasn't even had a personal bank account in over 13 years! What can a Franciscan friar vowed to live a life of poverty possibly teach us about personal finances? We're glad you asked.
    Today Fr. Mark-Mary recommends three books on how we should treat and use money as Catholics and shares some very practical tips for how to implement those ideas in our own lives.
    - BOOKS ON MONEY (Recommended By Fr. Mark-Mary) -
    "Happy are You Poor: The Simple Life and Spiritual Freedom" by Fr. Thomas Dubay S.M.
    "What Your Money Means: And How to Use It Well" by Frank J. Hanna
    "Habits for Holiness Small Steps for Making Big Spiritual Progress" by Fr. Mark-Mary

    What helps me make good use of money and help the poor, is to always remind myself that the money is not mine, it is God's. He just gave it to me to manage it for him.

      Do you know the real truth first?? As you don't know the difference between real creator and creation then there is no question of your intelligence. Then how you can say you are preaching real Ceaseless Creator???
      People were - are like you from the start and dancing to the tune of Mankind’s fakes idols. Its worship, faith and prayer. As a result, life went through all the ailments, trials and problems. Blind faith.
      Elysium = Natural, quieter, less use, etc.
      World = body = more
      Think about your life and well being first.
      Your Hearty and Healthy Life on the Earth gifted by = Intrinsic and Infinite Abundance - Ceaseless Creator of Elysium = 1 . (1 life, 1 breath, 1 pain, 1 sky, 1 earth, 1 wind, 1 thunder, 1 lightning, 1 water, etc.1)
      Not knowing self lives worth, lack of self respect, etc.
      All Religions & its God / men, make fakes & idols.
      • If your Allah, God, is real, then why the need for 35+ names in the world's 225+ religions? Do you have more than 2 - 3 names? Then how come your god has 35+ names?? All other living things have the same name everywhere. That means, it is a men made cheating method for Divide and rule:
      • Let all the ills, pains, illnesses, etc. in the name of …. (Non - sense)
      Life is a precious gift. Don't live like dog, hen, wolf, etc. (that itself means a lot) Know good and bad and live with good
      • Leaders teach that life is sad and even mankind learns that it is sad from various sources.
      • Life is a blessing. No one really enjoys it, and everyone wastes their lives relying on lies, idols, and nonsense made up by other men. Just fulfill other human temptations
      Don't surrender - succumb or submit to bad circumstances occurs from world.
      Life - that is gifted by Ceaseless Creator of Elysium .
      World - Body - by earth - with - parent’s participation
      Human life (active) = i. Life ii. Body iii. Skin (3 inseparable ingredients) like soil, water and sunrays = 1 unique creation (epitome). Life is the amalgamation of 2 aspects in a life. i. the power of body to inhale and relive the breathing sensation. ii. The power of body to carry the breathing sensation. A utmost beautiful creation ’Humankind’
      If life lacks affection, feeling, care, mercy and love, then there are no sufficient words to describe this mixture. Any one of these, alone, is of no use.
      As Ceaseless Creator is like your life, breath, pain, etc.; only you will know the result.
      Lack of good guidance is the root cause of mankind's problems. First distinguish between good and bad (evil).

      Humankind' Life itself is positive; no need of people's positiveness gimmick.

    As a retiree, I try to limit my spending to things that fit into 2 criteria: to replace/replenish something that is broken and if it makes my responsibilities easier. I can't say I'm 100% there yet, though. :-(. For instance, recently I started a new hobby - all was fun, until I realized how much more it was costing than I had anticipated! I felt terribly guilty at every dollar I put into this frivolous spending. I realized I had already spent so much, I couldn't turn back. I finally decided, that when the final item was purchased, I would tally up every penny that I spent on it and match it 100%, to either give to the poor or someone in need. I feel somewhat better - but not much.

    Thanks, i went and made a donation to the Catholic Near East Welfare Association, i have always felt like they use my money the right way to help in some needy places. Another group I give to sometimes is Cross Catholic Outreach. Both those groups help international needs via Catholic partner organizations that are local in that country without taking out much administrative costs and I like that approach. Happy Are You Poor is, indeed, a very good book. I haven't seen Fr Mark-Mary's Habits for Holiness yet but that would be a good one I might get for our parish library.

    It's not wrong to desire material things as long as they are not creating the near-occasion of sin or becoming idols that we become beholden to or covetous of. As Paul states in 1 Timothy 6...
    6 There is great gain in godliness with contentment;
    7 for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world;
    8 but if we have food and clothing, with these we shall be content.
    It's best to ask ourselves if we would still be content without our material comforts. If not, that merits a deeper examination of conscience and action. One method I have used for breaking a covetous mindset is fasting and confession. The clothes and food mentioned in the passage are not the heart of contentment. That is Jesus Christ, the grace of God the Father, and the Holy Spirit within me. If I can be content with him, I will find my way back to contentment with food and clothes and away from material gain. This is followed by a deep engagement with the Sacrament of Reconciliation to bring my materialism to the Lord so that he may exchange it for the spirit of contentment. And then when I receive communion, I will find it fully in him.

    It seems like a really big thing when someone gets a lot of money from their business online to go out and purchase things that they had their eyes on when they were poor. There is a competition that breaks out over who is or is not going to come out on top. Competition and rivalry might have been what worked in business or school sports, but the act of sabotage online has gone way too far when it comes to dominating the people in your space. Everything in this world is dominated by power and how much you can control dictates how that power is distributed. Paul was right when he said that we are not fighting against flesh and blood but the principalities and powers at work in this world.

    Great advice, which I practice! Most of the time I talk myself out of the item. Another tactic I use is telling myself that the item I am interested in will only be worth about a third of the price I paid once I leave the store. Do I really need it at that value? That frees me to give more money to charity, which always makes me feel better.

And pay rent Pay for the car and insurance only the need . But no things are different Since 2018 I've been retired I'm on the fix income and get so security And a small mount on a pension. So we have to watch very carefully the way we spend money And my wife worked 2 part time jobs so we can make it . I try to give what I can to the church . If I have extra money and someone else For food I'll try my best . When I used to work Before I retired me and my wife and kids want to applebee's We did not finish the food So we have them put it in the Box to take home and there was a homeless person and my wife gave the food to that person .

    It's easy for people in religious life to talk about the vow of poverty and the Zen state of dispossession. People on the outside for the most part need money not to go out on their yachts or take exotic trips to resort islands. People need money to pay bills -- from taxes to mortgages to student loans to car payments and for gas, heat and food. And when the money they earn falls short, then they borrow from banks incurring yet more bills. More than 48% of Americans have credit card debt. Others live from paycheck to paycheck. The alternative is becoming homeless. A lot of lay people are forced to take the vow of poverty, like it or not.

    When I read Bible passages I interpret some verses in this way: give to the poor, the more you have the less you will enter the kingdom of God. Give away your things. Live with little. Am I misunderstanding this correctly? Is it really bad to own a home or have material things because others need our help more? Looking for guidance on this.

    I have issues with how much to give my grown adult daughter who is a single mom and needs money all the time. I don’t know to what point I’m supposed to give or save? I have given her thousands of dollars over the years and it continues. But I don’t know where to draw the line does anybody have an answer?

      Give from your heart with no expectations in return. If she has children to raise, she needs money. If you have a bit of extra and you can spare it, and you know it will make a difference in her life then give what you can. If you feel resentful or if she is abusing of the gift coming her way, then that is a different conversation all together.

    Who are the poor? Is it the one standing on the street begging for money or is it the guy who has a job and struggles to make ends meet for his family? If you aren't willing to help yourself and get a job (or two) then why should I help you? Been tossing these questions around for a while now.

      Well are you giving in a disciplined way to the deserving poor or are you avoiding giving altogether by saying people aren't deserving. It's okay to target your giving but you need to give. You might choose to give to orphans, or the blind, or give money so people can start a business. Choose a cause you feel is worthy and support that.

      I try to give where it will be used best, but ultimately I try to live by this idea: if I give money to someone and they use it shamefully that reflects poorly on their character and they will have to reconcile that with God, but if I see someone in need and turn away in fear, selfishness, or pride then that reflects poorly on my character and I will have to reconcile with God. Therefore, don’t be consumed with the desire to give the most efficiently if it will get in the way of giving with love.

      ​@@mamazelle I understand, it is not for everyone. So what do you mean with that it's obvious and others have done it? You cannot force your family to do anything but try your best to become holier yourself by selling as much of your stuff that you don't need and give money to the poor.

    Not giving your money to the poor isn’t stealing, if you have excess and don’t help the poor what it shows is that you don’t feel much empathy for those who do not have enough. Especially if you are wasting money on luxuries that you don’t need and never help those who are in need.

    I’m in no position to judge or give advice - “the worst vice” -( …but … ) maybe a small thing YOU could do for the poor is completely demonetize your channel, so poor people who can’t (or won’t) afford a subscription to UA-cam won’t have to watch a commercial before watching your video.
    Second, if you REALLY want to help the poor, then learn the macroeconomics of Modern Monetary Theory and how we can REALLY help the poor (and balance the economy) with a permanent job safety net - a permanent federal job program available to one and all willing and able to work that pays a living wage with free healthcare and childcare.
    Ya, that’s a form of the dreaded socialism, but once you learn money doesn’t grow on rich people, maybe you’ll give it the chance it deserves.
