Nihil Obstat Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 The poor are often hungry.How are the starving filled with good things, they are on deaths door, unless this is what the holy mother is talking about, being on deaths door? Some kind of don't fear death parable perhaps? Of course the poor are often hungry. But the actual Latin text of the Magnificat is esurientes, not something like pauperes. The hungry, esurientes, will be filled with good things, implevit bonis, while the rich, divites, will not, but will in fact be left empty, dimisit inanes.

Tab'le De'Bah-Rye Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 ...And Christ had a soft spot in His heart for the woman who poured very expensive perfume on His head. Note that the apostles were scandalized by this; in this they were no different from the contemporary Christians who think that money spent on beautiful altars and not on charity is wasted. Gods house is Gods house and we should celebrate it with Gold and silver. That is the greatest physical offering we can give deserved of the almighty, we both need to give physically and spiritually catlick, for we are both flesh and spirit.
