Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?<\/p>\n
The Bible, James 2:5<\/i><\/p>\n
Christ hungers now, my brethren; it is he who deigns to hunger and thirst in the persons of the poor.<\/p>\n
Caesarius of Arles<\/i><\/p>\n
I shall never cease to give all I can to those in need until I find myself reduced to such a state of poverty that there will scarcely remain to me five feet of earth for my grave or a penny for my funeral.<\/p>\n
Cajetan of Thiene<\/i><\/p>\n

John Chrysostom<\/i><\/p>\n

Lucretia Mott<\/i><\/p>\n
When we serve the poor and the sick, we serve Jesus. We must not fail to help our neighbors, because in them we serve Jesus.<\/p>\n

Because of God\u2019s own care for the poor, and because of their exploitation by the unscrupulous and their neglect by the church, they should now receive a \u201cpositive\u201d or \u201creverse\u201d discrimination.<\/p>\n
John Stott<\/i><\/p>\n
What the poor need, even more than food and clothing and shelter (though they need these, too, desperately), is to be wanted.<\/p>\n
