Letter 47: The knowledge of God feeds others and grows by being shared.

You have a treasure, and you are not feeding us. Instead, you have hidden your water jar from us. Tell us what we should think about the Scripture that says, "The spirit of wisdom loves humanity," or how the psalm's saying fits: "All day long the righteous person shows mercy and lends." I know that the knowledge of God feeds others and is itself fed; when it gives, it receives. So break your bread for the hungry, and bring the poor who have no shelter into your house. The one who entrusted you with the gift of priesthood commands you to do this with your whole soul.
