  • Quote

    The outer is ordained for the sake of the inner; economic goods are instrumental--sicut quaedam adminicula, quibus adjuvanur ad tendendum in beatitudinum. ‘It is lawful to desire temporal blessings, not putting them in the first place, as though setting up our rest in them, but regarding them as aids the blessedness, inasmuch as they support our corporal life and serve as instruments for acts of virtue.’ Riches, as St. Antonino says, exist for man not man for riches.

    If only wealth was measured on how much we give, instead of on how much we have, there would have been far fewer rich people on earth. The world delights more in having than in giving. ~ Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
