God is our only wealth

Love.

God is our only wealth.
Do not depend on any other wealth,
riches of any other kind bring only disaster.

St. Theresa wanted to set up a large orphanage
but at the time she had only three shillings.
She wanted to start this enormous project
with just this small amount.
Friends and admirers advised her:
Get the funds together first.
What can you do with just three shillings?

Theresa laughed and said:
Naturally Theresa can do nothing with three shillings,
but with three shillings plus God –
nothing is impossible!
