“Both rich and poor together are called to a single vocation and invited to a certain humility and equality. The rich are not to turn up their noses at the poor, and the poor are not to be jealous of the rich. One grace joins both together. The Lord, though he was rich, became poor, so as to be Savior of poor and rich…”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — Commentaries on the Twelve Davidic Psalms, On Psalm 49
