No elderly person should be like an โexileโ in our families. The elderly are a treasure for our society.
Pope FrancisWhen we are generous in welcoming people and sharing something with them-some food, a place in our homes, our time-not only do we no longer remain poor: we are enriched.
Pope FrancisThere is so much indifference in the face of suffering. May we overcome indifference with concrete acts of charity.
Pope Francis...we must also acknowledge that the majority of the men and women of our time continue to live daily in situations of insecurity, with dire consequences. Certain pathologies are increasing, with their psychological consequences; fear and desperation grip the hearts of many people, even in the so-called rich countries; the joy of life is diminishing; indecency and violence are on the rise; poverty is becoming more and more evident. People have to struggle to live and, frequently, to live in an undignified way.
