How We Sin Against The Poor


While staying in the hermitage near Roccabrizia, a poor, miserable, sick man came in search of St. Francis. Regarding him, Francis said to his companions, "Do you want to know in which way you sinned against this poor man, or better still, against Christ himself? When you see a poor man, you must consider the one in whose name he comes, namely, Christ, who took upon himself our poverty and our weakness. The poverty and sickness of this man are, therefore, a mirror in which we ought to contemplate lovingly the poverty and weakness which our Lord Jesus Christ suffered in his body to save the human race."
