Pope Francis published his new message for the Third World Day of the Poor, which will be held on Nov. 17. This year's motto is from Psalms, \u201cThe hope of the poor shall not perish for ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
The pope says today there are \u201cmany new forms of bondage that enslave millions of men, women, young people and children.\u201d He strongly criticizes the fact that the poor are treated as 'garbage' or \u201cparasites of society who are not even forgiven for their poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Msgr. Rino Fisichella, President of the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization, the pope's message is a challenge for all to rediscover the poor in their lives. It is also a request for all believers to be a concrete sign of hope, who not only offer food to the poor, but their presence. <\/p>\n
MSGR. RINO FISICHELLA This year the Vatican will once again, during a week in mid-November, set up a mobile hospital in St. Peter's Square for the poor. Last year they provided 3,000 medical treatments, 203 of which were for diseases such as HIV. <\/p>\n According to Graham Bell, it is not only the Vatican committed to World day for the Poor, but many others across the globe.<\/p>\n MSGR. GRAHAM BELL \u201cIn Germany, the Archdiocese of Berlin hosted a banquet for the homeless and for the vulnerable people in the city at the Cathedral of St. Hedwig. It was closed for restoration, but opened for this occasion. The archbishop welcomed around 300 guests and 140 volunteers from local parishes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Pope Francis will conclude the third World Day of the Poor with a Mass in St. Peter's Basilica as well as a lunch with 1,500 poor people in Paul VI Audience Hall. <\/p>\n In his message, he used Jean Vanier as an example, referring to him as a \u201cgreat apostle of the poor.\u201d He recently passed away and dedicated his life to taking care of people with disabilities and founded the L'Arche community. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" June 13th, 2019.

\n\u201cWhat is more important is our presence, is our solidarity. It is our help in order to discover for us what is essential for the Gospel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
