Message of Pope Francis for October 17
Pope Francis concluded his speech on the occasion of the Angelus of Sunday, October 15 with these words:
“I would like to remind everyone that tomorrow is the World Day for Overcoming Poverty.
Extreme poverty is not inevitable.
It is generated by factors that need to be recognized and resisted,
so that we may honor the dignity of so many of our brothers and sisters, as we honor sainthood.”
“Ricordo anche che dopodomani ricorrera to the Giornata del rifiuto della
miseria. The miseria non è una fatalità: ha delle cause che vanno
riconosciute e rimosse, per onorare the dignità di tanti fratelli e
sorelle, sull’esempio dei santi.”
