From The Rules of Work
“Money is good for a few things: protect your family, liberate the poor, and make more money.” — Daniel DiGriz
THE POOR
- Teach us to be responsible for one another.
- Enrich us with opportunities for compassion.
- Demonstrate for us the basic dignity of human survival.
The poor are the orphan, the widow, the neglected, the enslaved, the kidnapped, the tortured, the trafficked, the impoverished, the abandoned and alone, the sick, the imprisoned, the immigrant (the stranger), and all who anywhere suffer or are in need. The poor give us the opportunity to rise by giving. They save us. They make us whole, by letting us do the same for them.
“Not to enable the poor to share in our goods is to steal from them and deprive them of life. The goods we possess are not ours but theirs.” – St. John Chrysostom
