God friend of the poor: The rich have so many things. The poor have only God.[1]
In "The Gospel as It Was Revealed to Me"
- Now you see that it is without justice towards the poor that the judges sit in Israel. It is not on behalf of the just but of the strong that they lean.[2]
- God has given you much. You must give in proportion. Why act dishonestly as often happens, so that it is the poor who have to bear taxes unrelated to their resources?[3]
- Parable of the Rich Man and Poor Lazarus - Paradise and Hell[4] – Esdraelon Plain among the peasants of Doras and GioCana in Consolation of their harsh life.[5]
- God, friend of the poor: The rich have so many things. The poor have only God.[6]
- Poor in spirit: the Demon, the world and the flesh can give an illusory power and a jYesssance, but at the expense of the spiritual joy which comes from union with God, joy and strength of the poor in spirit.[7]
- Sending on Mission to the poor: give …[8]
- The cry of the Heart of the poor before the abundance. Joseph of Arimathea distributes his harvest to 62 needy people.[9]
- Poverty in spirit consists in this sovereign freedom with regard to all things that are the delights of man, and for which man even resorts to material or moral offense unpunished, which too often escapes human law, but still causes victims … - The large category of “poor in spirit” divides and subdivides into so many forms: Humility of mind - Generosity in affections - Justice in the love of personal things - Freedom from the slavery of money.[10]
- We have nothing to offer... We are poor... - You offer what God values: your Heart…[11]
- The Good News, the one given especially for the poor, so that they may have a supernatural comfort in the hope of a glorious life after the reality of their sad present life.[12]
- All men are poor in something: some lack money, for others it is affections, freedom, health, and all men need God's help who created the universe and who, He, the only Father, can help His children.[13]
- (Jesus) Relieve with this promise my burdened Heart: that in the poor, you will always see me, and that you will treat them as the truest representatives of Christ who is poor.[14]
