How are material poverty and poverty of the heart related to each other?

"One does not live by bread alone" (Luke 4:4) Assuming this question is part of the Catholic teaching... Jesus told others to embrace the poverty they are born into. The wealthy have the special obligation to assist the poor as if they would assist Jesus. We do not achieve salvation by material wealth; however, it is necessary for us to be truly in communion with God. Jesus calls us to be unattached to material wealth, so we don't let it compromise our salvation.
