“In the first centuries of Christianity the hungry were fed at a personal sacrifice, the naked were clothed at a personal sacrifice, the homeless were sheltered at a personal sacrifice... And the pagans used to say about the Christians, "See how they love each other." In our own day the poor are no longer fed, clothed, and sheltered at a personal sacrifice, but at the expense of the taxpayers. And because of this the pagans say about the Christians, "See how they pass the buck."” FirstsChristianUsedPoorChristianitySacrificeCenturyHungryNakedFedsExpensesHomelessTaxpayersBucksPaganLove Each OtherPersonal Sacrifice Author:Peter Maurin
