On Wealth And Poverty by John Chrysostom
A series of impassioned homilies on the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, it teaches that wealth is a sacred trust meant for the relief of the poor and that neglecting the needy endangers the soul. It exposes the spiritual perils of luxury, greed, and indifference, urging almsgiving, mercy, and communal responsibility as the true measure of righteousness. With vivid exhortations and practical counsel, it calls readers to transform possessions into compassion, reorder social ties through generosity, and seek salvation by serving the most vulnerable.
