World Day of the Poor

World Day of the Poor

MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS FOR THE SIXTH WORLD DAY OF THE POOR

13 November 2022, Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

For your sakes Christ became poor (cf. 2 Cor 8:9)

“Jesus Christ… for your sakes became poor” (cf. 2 Cor 8:9). With these words, the Apostle Paul addresses the first Christians of Corinth in order to encourage their efforts to show solidarity with their brothers and sisters in need. The World Day of the Poor comes this year as a healthy challenge, helping us to reflect on our style of life and on the many forms of poverty all around us.
