“Hope, sustained by God’s love poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, turns human hearts into fertile soil where charity for the life of the world can blossom.” Pope Leo XIV
Sunday 16th November is the World Day of the Poor. It is a day that reminds us that that the poor are at the heart of all our pastoral activity.
“God took on their poverty in order to enrich us through their voices, their stories and their faces. Every form of poverty, without exception, calls us to experience the Gospel concretely and to offer signs of hope.” Pope Leo XIV
