CCC 2547

The Lord grieves over the rich, because they find their consolation in the abundance of goods.³⁴⁰ Lk 6:24. "Let the proud seek and love earthly kingdoms, but blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven."³⁴¹ St. Augustine, De serm. Dom. in monte 1, 1, 3: PL 34, 1232PL — Patrologia Latina (Migne). Abandonment to the providence of the Father in heaven frees us from anxiety about tomorrow.³⁴² Cf. Mt 6:25-34. Trust in God is a preparation for the blessedness of the poor. They shall see God.
