If people insult you and refuse to give you alms, you should thank God for it, because you will be honoured before the judgment seat of our Lord Jesus Christ for these insults. The shame will be imputed to those who cause it, not to you who suffer it. Alms are an inheritance and a right which is due to the poor because our Lord Jesus Christ acquired this inheritance for us...
