Ambrose always was more concerned for the poor than for power, he was kind and compassionate towards them

often scolded the wealthy for snubbing the poor

"God created the universe in such a manner that all in common might derive their food from it, and that the earth should also be a property common to all. Why do you reject one who has the same rights over nature as you? It is not from your own goods that you give to the beggar; it is a portion of his own that you are restoring to him. The earth belongs to all. So you are paying back a debt and think you are making a gift to which you are not bound."

This statement made by Ambrose truly shows the meaning of holy. He put others that were being oppressed before anything else and spoke up for them when no one else would
