“The Church, by its very nature, is called to be poor and a refuge for the poor. Let us not forget Saint Augustine’s commentary on the parable of the rich man and poor Lazarus: ‘He has kept the name of the rich man to himself and told us the name of the poor man. The name of the rich man was on everyone’s lips, but God kept it to himself; the name of the poor man was passed over in silence, but God revealed it to us. What would you choose? To be poor like Lazarus or rich like the other man? Do not be deceived! Listen to how it ended and take note of which is the wrong choice’”.
