WORLD DAY OF THE POOR

Pope Francis initiated World Day of the Poor in 2017 with the theme “Let us love, not with words but with deeds.” Now in its fifth year, the theme for this World Day of the Poor on Sunday is from the words of Jesus at the Anointing in Bethany, “For the poor you have always with you”. Pope Francis is calling on us all to go out to meet those who are disadvantaged, vulnerable or marginalised, that we should not wait for people to come to us to ask for help.
