[The following quote is on a commentary from Luke 12 - the story of "the rich fool"]
Yet the foolish man says, “I will pull down my barns,
and build greater” [Luke 12:18]. And if your land
yields even more bountifully in the future, will you pull these down and build
again? But what need is there to pull
down and build? You have available to
you as storehouses the stomachs of the poor which can hold much, and are
indestructible and imperishable. They are
in fact heavenly and divine storehouses, for he who feeds the pauper, feeds God.
- From The Explanation by Blessed Theophylact of the Holy Gospel According to Luke (commentary on Luke 12:16-21)
