RICHES


"But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, things that are not, to reduce to nothing things that are, so that no one might boast in the presence of God."
- 1 Corinthians 1:27-29

"Because they spurn riches as ashes that are dead because of avarice, none of them has anything according to her own will. Whatever each has through the gift of God, let her possess with God. She says that nothing is hers by her own strength, but all is from God who gives all good things to the good. And what are these? Truth and justice, which interweave with all good things."
- Hildegard of Bingen, Book of Life's Merits
