The Brood of Vipers

Do not be greedy for material possessions
in spiritual people paradox of lust.
Be concern with spiritual poverty
for physical poverty will pass.

Fear not the one who can kill your body,
but fear the one who can kill your soul.
You are not to be like the business man,
who builds Ponzi scheme and steals monies from people.

You are not to make the Cave of Bandits from our Father’s House.
You are not to rob your parishioners
in the middle of Eucharist, telling them to provide you with their 
credit and debit card numbers,

because you want to have luxurious live style.
You need to embrace the holy poverty
and concentrate on the spiritual things.
Do not be like the “Stupidtz” and fathers “O’Lands”.

Which one of you follows the Lord?
Do you love him in your mansions?
“Foxes have dens and birds have nests,
but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
