World Day of the Poor Pastoral Aid

January tba 2017

“We are called, then, to draw near to the poor, to encounter them, to meet their gaze, to embrace them and to let them feel the warmth of love that breaks through their solitude. Their outstretched hand is also an invitation to step out of our certainties and comforts, and to acknowledge the value of poverty in itself.”

(Pope Francis Message World Day of the Poor 2017)
