I just read this quote from Basil the Great in one of my text books and I thought I was worth sharing and reflecting on:
"If one who takes the clothing off another is called a thief, why give any other name to one who can clothe the naked and refuses to do so? The bread that you withhold belongs to the poor; the cape that you hide in your chest belongs to the naked; the shoes in your house belong to those who must go unshod."
(Quote taken from: Gonzales, J. The Story of Christianity: The Early Church to the Dawn of the Reformation. Vol. 1. USA: HarperOne, 2010.)
