Poverty, chastity, and fraternity are helpful in attaining holiness. Poverty eschews material goods, chastity eschews family obligations, and fraternity provides brotherhood among men that they might lift each other up and hold each other accountable. By ridding ourselves of attachments, we are better able to spend time in prayer, meditation, and learning... all of which lift up ourselves and others in order that heaven might be attained by as many as possible.
