“The creator of the heavens obeys a carpenter; the God of eternal glory listens to a poor virgin. Has anyone ever witnessed anything comparable to this?

“These symbolize (Proverbs 30:14) the greedy and usurers whose teeth are swords and knifes which they use to devour the poor and steal their megger possessions.

Their prudence is their death.” WorldBelieveChildrenUseLightPoorStupidThis WorldSaintPossessionStealingTeethGreedyPrudencePrudent Author:Anthony of Padua
