Br. Gerard Rosario, O.P., on God as a Lover of the Poor

"'And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly, I say to you, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."' - Mt 19:23-24

"What does Jesus have against the rich? After hearing these verses, it might seem like a fair question. To understand the heart of the matter, I would like to propose that the better question is: Why is poverty good for us?"

In a recent commentary, Brother Gerard Rosario DeAngelis, O.P., reflected on the relationship between poverty, openness to God's grace, and God's love for us.
