III. Poverty of Heart
2544
Jesus enjoins his disciples to prefer him to everything and everyone, and bids
them “renounce all that [they have]” for his sake and that of the
Gospel.334 Shortly before his passion he gave them the example of the
poor widow of Jerusalem who, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live
on.335 The precept of detachment from riches is obligatory for entrance
into the Kingdom of heaven.
