Young beggar near the Seine - Barbara Bansi

A beggar is a person who lives mainly from almsgivings. Jesus defines himself as a beggar of souls and love.

In "The Gospel as Revealed to Me"

I am the Great Beggar, and I ask you for the most precious alms: it is souls that I ask of you. I go in search of them, but you must help me... Satisfy the hunger of my Heart that seeks love and finds it in too few people[1]
