Francis said that to offer the love of God to get an alms was a noble prodigality, and those who valued it less than money were most foolish indeed. He himself kept unfailingly to his death the resolution he made while he was still enmeshed in worldly things, namely, that he would never turn away anyone who asked an alms for the love of God.
