Affability toward the poor


Since God has destined us to serve the poor, we have to do it in the way most beneficial to them, and, consequently, treat them with great affability, taking this advice of the Wise Man as if it were addressed to each one of us in particular: Congregationi pauperum affabilem te facito: make yourselves affable to the assembly of the poor. (SV XI, 58)
