It ' s taken over by paid shills and intelligence agencies . <| sep |> Oscar knows it all . actually <| sep |> All the costs of righteousness are always safe from harm they not only stay safe but they even increase in number and change in quality . Heavenly things spring from earthly ones , great things are produced from little ones , and earthly gifts are transformed into eternal reward . Therefore whoever of you loves riches , whoever longs to multiply what you have , be excited over this profit , sigh for this increase in your wealth , which no thief steals , no moth destroys , and no rust corrodes cf . Matt . 6 20 . Don ' t despair of the interest don ' t distrust the one who receives from you . What you did for one of these , you did for me Matt . 25 40 . Understand who it is that speaks and recognise with certainty , using the perceptive eyes of faith , the one in whom you invest your wealth . The person to whom Christ owes a debt should have no doubt about its repayment . Let your generosity be free from anxiety , and don ' t let your fasting be gloomy , for God loves a cheerful giver 2 Cor . 9 7 . He is faithful in his words cf . Ps 145 13 , and pays back with abundance what is given away , which he graciously gave to be given away . St Leo the Great , Homily 87 The avaricious person knows not how to enumerate anything except what is profitable . But I agree with him that what is pecuniary may be called good . Why then , do you make evil things from good , when you ought to make good things from evil ? For it is written ' Make for yourselves friends from the mammon of iniquity ' Luke 169 . For the one who knows how to use them , then , they are good for the one who knows not how to use them rightly they are bad . ' He distributed , he gave to the poor his righteousness endures forever ' Ps . 1129 . What is better than this ? They are good if you give them to the poor , and when you do this you make God your debtor by a kind of charitable usury . They are good if you open up the granaries of your righteousness , so that you may be the bread of the poor , the life of the needy , the eye of the blind , the father of orphaned infants . St Ambrose of Milan , On Naboth
