"To the naysayers: Historically the Church has always started the work of evangelization by relieving the poverty of the poor (and poverty comes in many forms). A person can't contemplate spiritual things if he is constantly worried about where he will get his next meal. Giving to the poor is "the ordinary path to conversion for those who wish to follow Christ with an undivided heart." (Pope Leo XIV Dilexi te 46) Giving to the poor is "the ordinary path to conversion for those who wish to follow Christ with an undivided heart." (Pope Leo XIV Dilexi te 46)"
