Carl Markelz
God has called us to be good stewards of the gifts we have received. We are called to live in simplicity and solidarity with our brothers and sisters. "In our use of material goods, it is our responsibility before God to observe faithfully the poverty which we have freely professed, keeping in mind that we make the vow of poverty in order to live a simple life, individually and within our communities, avoiding whatever might offend the sensibilities of the poor" (Con. 57). "To ensure that the economic structure of our religious life does not resemble existing global systems of unjust inequality, fraternity within the Carmelite family should find expression in concern for the sharing with communities throughout the Order, in particular the poorer among them" (Con. 37).
