Introduction

            I will split my thoughts in four points or moments, in order to be as clear and concise as possible, like a list of flashes for an issue that seems to me quite complex:

1)      The situation of not few religious people today: vote of poverty or of a good middle-class? To talk about poverty is a fashion or a need?

2)      The anthropological and socio-economic concept of poverty has been broaden; and not everything is negative.           

3)      We do not forget that the meaning of our poverty is not, above all, socio-economic, but theological.

4)      Any practical reason for a differentiated experiencing it is not always easy, either from a charismatic viewpoint or a social one.
