Joyfully Begging for Alms
Therefore, go for alms confidently with joyful hearts
with the blessing of the Lord God.
And you ought to go begging more willingly
and with more joyful hearts than someone
who is offering a hundred silver pieces in exchange
for a single penny, since you are offering the love
of God to those from whom you seek alms.
Say to them "Give alms to us for the love of the Lord."
- St. Francis of Assisi
