“We have no right to our possessions; they have been entrusted to us for the good of all. Let us then invest with the Lord what he has given us, for we have nothing that does not come from him: we are dependent on him for our very existence. And we ourselves particularly, who have a special and greater debt, since God not only created us but purchased us as well; what can we regard as our own when we do not possess even ourselves?”
Paulinus of Nola (354-431) Roman Senator whose family had great possessions. He converted in 394 and eventually became Bishop of Nola. Excerpt from Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals by Shane Claiborne, Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove and Enuma Okoro (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2010) 96.
