Without the poor after we "sell all" that we have, who will we give it to?

Without the poor there is no way to give directly to Christ.

Without the poor we are hopelessly deluded by materialism.

Without the poor we have no vision of a simple lifestyle.

Without the poor we cannot learn to be content with what we have.

Without the poor we have no people to thank God for us.

Without the poor can not learn to be generous.

Without the poor we cannot receive from God as we have given.

Without the poor our riches become chains that fasten us to this life and condemn us to poverty hereafter.

The poor don't need us, but we need the poor!!
