“We have been entrusted with the administration and use of temporal wealth for the common good, not with the everlasting ownership of property…
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…
Let us give to him who receives in the person of every poor man or women. Let us give gladly, I say, and great joy will be ours when we receive his promised reward.”
Paulinus of Nola (353-431) in Letters 34.2-4. ACCS II:170.
