Some people have all they need and a good sum of money shut up in their safe as well. Because they avoid serious sins, they think they have done their duty. They enjoy their riches and give an occasional alms, yet never consider that their property is not their own, but that God has entrusted it to them to share with the poor...We have no concern with this except to ask God to enlighten such people...and to thank Him for making us poor, which we should hold as a special favor on His part (Conceptions of the Love of God, Ch. II, par. 8) - St. Teresa
...from the chapter entitled, Christian Liberation from The Future of our Past by Segundo Galilea.
