Alms Are The Inheritance Of The Poor

Blessed Francis often repeated the words: "I was never a robber: by that I mean that for the alms which are the inheritance of the poor, I have always accepted less than I needed so that I could not defraud the other poor. To act otherwise would be to steal."

Saint Francis of Assisi
Legend of Perugia - 111
