Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 19:16

“And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting?”

“(de. Op. Monach. 25.) Nor need it be made a scruple in what monasteries, or to the indigent brethren of what place, any one gives those things that he has, for there is but one commonwealth of all Christians. Therefore wheresoever any Christian has laid out his goods, in all places alike he shall receive what is necessary for himself, shall receive it of that which is Christ’s.”
