Pope Francis Quotes St. Ambrose In Cuban Vespers Homily: The Distribution Of Wealth

Alan: I listened to Pope Francis' Cuban vespers' homily in Spanish (in which he references Ambrose) but have been unable to find an online transcription. 

The following quotations are representative of Ambrose and illustrate the harmony between his outlook and the pontiff's.

I am reminded of the "quip": "A philanthropist is someone who gives away what s/he should give back."

"It is not from your own goods that you give to the beggar; it is a portion of his own that you are restoring to him. The Earth belongs to all. So you are paying back a debt and think you are making a gift to which you are not bound."
