1 audio cassette

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at l'Arche Renewal retreat events from June 22 - August 23, 1988.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: We long for love which is related to the issue of poverty. In a strange way poverty is at the heart of love if you look at its characteristics that St. Paul writes about. It's a tremendous unguardedness, It's a strange thing when you enter into the mystery of persons and of love. It's like a terrible act of disarmament. But our normal inclinations are all about protecting ourselves. Thus love inhabits this whole reality of poverty and wealth, of radial insecurity and security, It's paradoxical because love means being so unguarded yet also feeling so secure. I want to talk this morning about the paradoxes of poverty and how at issue is always the reality of love.
