Theft of Alms

Blessed Francis used to say to his friars, "I have never been a thief in the matter of alms, and obtained or used more than I needed. I have always accepted less than my needs, lest other poor folk should be cheated of their share; for to act otherwise would be theft."

Saint Francis of Assisi
Mirror or Perfection - 12
