10-08-23 What is true wealth? (JE)
St Laurence teaches us what true wealth is: it is not earthly wealth which fades or rots; it is the poor and needy. The more we give to them, the more we earn treasure in heaven. But we must do so with a disinterested heart: loving Christ in them, and them in themselves, and not merely ‘using’ them as a means to ‘buy’ heaven.
