What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
The poor and needy seek water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs. I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive. …
Thomas Aquinas
Second, against poverty, he first sets out the disadvantage of poverty: the needy and the poor, above: their nobles have perished with famine (Isa 5:13); second, the divine intention: I the Lord will hear them: he shall call upon me and I will hear him (Ps 90:15).
