“How glad I am that the crop is so good. The poor will feast, for their share must be larger. The more God is liberal towards us, the more we must be liberal towards the needy. God gives to us that we may give to them. He is the fountain and we the channels. If our channels are narrow and small, small also will be the supply from the fountain.” St. Joseph Benedict Cottolengo  (“The Life of the Venerable Joseph Benedict Cottolengo: Founder of the Little House of Providence in Turin — Compiled from the Italian Life of DON P. GASTALDI, by a priest of the Society of Jesus” pub. 1893., Ch. V, pg. 19)
