“‘Give Thou bread’—that is to say, let me have food through just labor. For if God is justice, anyone who procures food for themselves through covetousness cannot have his bread from God. You are the master of your prayer if your abundance does not come from another’s property and is not the result of somebody else’s tears; if no one is hungry or distressed because you are fully satisfied. For the bread of God is, above all, the fruit of justice.”
- St. Gregory of Nyssa, 4th Century Bishop
