These realities are increasingly under attack from powerful forces, which threaten to disfigure Godโs plan for creation.
Pope FrancisThat is why the center of our faith isn't just a book, but a history of Salvation, and above all, it's about a person: Jesus Christ, the Word of God made flesh.

Pope FrancisHow many people worldwide are victims of this type of slavery, in which the person is at the service of his or her work, while work should offer a service to people so they may have dignity.

Pope Francis
