This discussion of the poor ends up being a discussion about the Word.
The Word is a person: Jesus, of whom the Scriptures speak. The purpose of the Scriptural witness is to illuminate Jesus. This is also what the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Jesus) is doing.
Any engagement of the Bible that doesn't result in connection to the Word, who is Jesus, is dead. It is just another in the litany of dead religious works we do in our flesh to feel better in this hostile and dying world...
