The article outlines lines of reflection for the construction of a project to reinterpret poverty from a new theological key: poverty, understood as an alternative for societies that slowly used to think with criteria of richness, rejecting poverty as a misfortune. The objective of the article is to show that impoverished, per se, is not a curse, but rather a structural sin that contradicts Jesus Christ s proposal to free oneself from the ties that distance them from the Father and from the brother. The article questions the traditional ecclesial work and proposes a Church from poverty. From the review of the specialized literature on the matter, the authors propose new readings and new praxis, focused on listening to and caring for the poor and their values, as a condition of possibility to live fidelity to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The article questions the conceptual framework of impoverished and, at the same time, discerns new and creative ways to face open borders in this 21st century. Given the novelty of the proposal, the article is a starting point to delve into this theological edge, little debated since the Poverty Principle.
