Humbert of Romans recounts for us some of the last words of our holy Father: “Here, dearest brethren, is what I bequeath to you as sons, as to your rightful inheritance. Have charity, keep hold of humility, possess voluntary poverty.” I have often reflected on these parting words of our holy Father, but what caught my attention during this past week was the fact that this is Dominic’s bequest to his sons and daughters as our rightful inheritance. In other words, Dominic makes us heirs of what was for him the foundation of his spirituality and the source of his apostolic fruitfulness – charity, humility and voluntary poverty.
