A
poor person asks you for something: you ask God for something. He
begs for a morsel of food; you beg for eternal life. Give to the
beggar so that you may receive from Christ. For He is who says,"
Give and it will be given to you." It baffles me that you have
the imprudence to ask for what you do not want to give.
