"It is true, therefore, that a man's life is not from his possessions,
by
reason of his having a superfluity; but very blessed, and of glorious
hope
is he who is rich towards God. And who is he? Evidently one who loveth
not
wealth, but virtue rather, and to whom few things are sufficient; one
whose hand is open to the necessities of the indigent, comforting the
sorrows of those in poverty, according to his means, and the utmost of
his
power. It is he who gathers in the storehouses that are above, and lays
up
treasures in heaven."
St. Cyril of Alexandria.
"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these
things shall be added to you." Matthew 6:33
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
