The historical roots of poverty of spirit can be traced back to the teachings of Jesus Christ, who exemplified this virtue in His life. Born in humble circumstances, with no place to lay His head (Luke 9:58), Christ fully embraced poverty, living not for wealth or comfort but for the will of the Father. His life was a model of detachment from earthly desires, revealing that true richness comes not from possessions but from a heart centered on God. In the Gospel of Matthew, when the rich young man asks Jesus how to attain eternal life, Christ instructs him to sell all his possessions, give to the poor, and follow Him (Matthew 19:21). This radical call to detachment challenges the human tendency to place value in material things and encourages a life of simplicity, wherein one's heart is free to be devoted entirely to God.
