Wealth and Poverty

What the rich have difficulty of doing, but the poor are forced by life circumstances to do, is this--surrendering one's future into the hands of God, and not on one's own personal power and resources.

This is something the rich finds very difficult to understand; but the poor understands very well. This is the gift of poverty, the reason why it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than for the rich to enter the Kingdom.

Still God provides the needed graces to both, enough to bring them salvation should they respond with love to God and surrender to His Will.

Faith, Confession and Surrender

Poverty and Crime

Poverty as a scapegoat for committing crimes is overrated. That also discriminates the poor as being by situation the only potential criminals (everyone are potential criminals). Many sensational crimes involving fortunes to the tune of billions of dollars have been committed in corporate and government worlds by those who will not qualify to our common definition of poverty. If we want to point a finger to the cause of crime, that finger  must be directed to the heart of every man, where lies the unseen evil that ferments schemes to take other peoples' lives and properties against their will.
