When Our
Lord sent out His Apostles, he recommended that they not take any
money with them; but later, when
the number of His disciples
increased, He willed that there be one of
the group qui loculos
haberet, and would take care not only of giving food to the poor, but
also of providing for the needs of His family.
Furthermore, he
allowed women to follow Him for the same purpose, quae ministrabant
ei; and, if He gives orders in the Gospel not
to worry about
tomorrow, that should be interpreted to mean not to
be too anxious
or concerned about worldly goods, and absolutely not
to neglect the
means of keeping ourselves alive and clothing ourselves; otherwise,
there would be no point in sowing any seed. (1656; SV XI, 316)
