David Vopřada: Diues misericordiae diues est deo. What makes Christian rich according to Ambrose of Milan

Second, it is Christian’s mercy that makes him rich before God. And there is also a way how Ambrose delivers this message to his public: the study would focus on the formative process in Ambrose's church of Milan.
