Psalm 40:1
Douay-Rheims
Unto the end, a psalm for David himself.
Leo the Great
You should "recognize" Christ "in the needy" to the extent that your resources "allow." Christ our Lord gives testimony to the fact that he is the one whom we clothe, support and feed in them. That is how strongly he has recommended the poor to us.
