This weekend marks the 7th annual World Day of the Poor. It is an initiative started by Pope Francis that encourages all to \u201cgo forth\u201d to encounter poverty\u2014a topic he has often spoken about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
POPE FRANCIS At 10am on Sunday, November 19, Pope Francis will preside over a Eucharistic celebration in St. Peter's Basilica. Directly after the celebration and following tradition from past years, he will attend a lunch with the poor in the Paul VI Audience Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout the week leading up to the World Day of the Poor, the Dicastery for the Service of Charity will also offer extended hours in the clinic near St. Peter's that provides free medical care to the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this 2023 World Day of the Poor, Pope Francis has specifically requested for everyone to work towards providing free healthcare and payment assistance to those in need. This year's theme is \u201cdo not look away from the poor\u201d from the Book of Tobias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n AT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Sunday, November 19, Pope Francis will preside over a Eucharistic celebration in St. Peter's Square followed by a luncheon with the poor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":758,"featured_media":62596,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,27,25],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ct6o-2MpO_I","video_descarga":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bpwgiornodeipoverieng.mp4","international_url":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bpwgiornodeipoveriint.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62599"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62599"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":62601,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62599\/revisions\/62601"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
<\/strong>I apologize for all the times that Christians, when in front of a poor person or when a poor person is near, look the other way. I'm sorry.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
