On the love of the poor - St. Gregory the Theologian
“May God preserve me from being rich
while they are in need;
From enjoying good health
if I do not minister to their illness;
From eating good food,
From wearing nice clothing, and
From resting in my home,
if I do not share my bread and my clothes, as I am able;
May God preserve me,
if I do not welcome them into my home.”
