Patristic A.D. 397
“Riches are foreign to us, because they are something beyond nature, they are not born with us, and they do not pass away with us. But Christ is ours, because He is the life of man. Lastly, He came unto His own.”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of Luke, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 16:8-13
