HELPING THE POOR

They would not be so foolish and miserly if they had the imagination to realize what great joy they had in their power to make for themselves, which they vainly try to find otherwise. If they tried it once they would see it.  Wretched is he whose poverty forces him to beg for alms. But more wretched indeed is he whose narrow heart makes him close the door against the hungry so that he may cat by himself.

Death is most painful. But even that becomes pleasant to the good man when he finds himself unable to help the wretched.
