“A plea from
the mouth of the poor goes straight to the ear of God, whose judgment comes
without delay” (Sirach 21:5) this entails the poor in spirit {‘how blessed are
the poor in spirit: the kingdom of heaven is theirs’ Mtt.5:3} and not those who
wallow in laziness believing that they are poor on earth thus “a little sleep,
a little drowsiness, a little folding of the arms to lie back, and poverty
comes like a vagrant and like a beggar, dearth” (Prov. 6:10-11).
