Church Fathers on Matthew 19:26
The Lord took occasion from this rich man to hold discourse concerning the covetous; 'Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, &c.'
What He spoke was not condemning riches in themselves, but those who were enslaved by them; also encouraging His disciples that being poor they should not be ashamed by reason of their poverty.
To have riches is no sin; but moderation is to be observed in our havings. For how shall we communicate to the necessities of the saints, if we have not out of what we may communicate?
