Do you want God to love you? Then make him your debtor, lending him the aims given to the poor. Don’t entrust people with your money. Do you want your children to be rich? Then live them the inheritance of God’s goodwill. Because if He sees that you are merciful with your brother, he will unveil to your children, His endless treasures.

Make God your heir and you will leave to your children an untainted treasure. Because if He sees that you are merciful with your brother, he will unveil to your children, His endless treasures.

Do you want God to love you? Then make him your debtor, lending him the aims given to the poor. Don’t entrust people with your money. God is ready to receive them, keep them but also to multiply them and to give them in return with interest.

(Translated from Sfântul Ioan Gură de AurProblemele vieții, Editura Egumenița, Galați, 2007, p. 288)
