Abstract

The purpose of this study is that a monk needs to have an attitude of giving up his own will, avoiding the influence of his family and "reliving the spirit of poverty, must avoid everything outside that shows luxury and sophistication, and lead a normal life of frugality." Turn to Jesus and follow him, giving up your own will as Jesus himself freely chose to live in poverty to do the will of the Father. He became poor to live for the Kingdom of God. Therefore, the renunciation of material security, the renunciation of one's own will only makes sense if it comes from discovering the kingdom of heaven in relation to God. Solidarity with the poor can become the most effective way to restore poverty.
