A Noble Prodigality
"St. Francis used to say: 'To offer the precious patrimony of the love of God in exchange for an alms is a noble prodigality, and those who value this prodigality less than money are very stupid, for only the incalculable price of divine love can purchase the kingdom of heaven.'" --St. Bonaventure, Major Life, 9:1
God's love, which is incalculable, is far greater than money.
