Drawing Close to the Poor

"It is essential to draw near to new forms of poverty and vulnerability, in which we are called to recognise the suffering Christ.

I think of the homeless, the addicted, refugees, Indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned and many others.

Migrants present a particular challenge for me, since I am pastor of a Church without frontiers, a Church which considers herself mother to all".

(Pope Francis in The Joy of the Gospel)
