Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have mistaken the nature of poverty, and thought it was economic poverty. No, it is poverty of soul, deprivation of God's recreating, loving peace.
When you have a spiritual foundation, you look at poverty differently then.
I firmly believe that our salvation depends on the poor.
There is not a single indication in man's wonderful mechanism that he was created for a life of poverty. There is something larger and grander for him in the divine plan than perpetual slavery to the bread-winning problem.
God has always been hard on the poor.
Churches know more about poverty than any government will ever know, because we're dealing with the poor every day.
Since the Church is to be servant to the poor, it is our fault if that wealth is not channeled to help the poor in our world.
It is not poverty so much as pretense that harasses a ruined man - the struggle between a proud mind and an empty purse - the keeping up of a hollow show that must soon come to an end.
Poverty is from the devil and that God wants all Christians prosperous.
It's God's will for you to live in prosperity instead of poverty. It's God's will for you to pay your bills and not be in debt.
