"La pire discrimination que subissent les pauvres est le manque de soins spirituels. La grande majorité des pauvres ont une ouverture particulière à la foi; ils ont besoin de Dieu et nous ne devons pas manquer de leur offrir son amitié, sa bénédiction, sa p"
— Pope Francis
Simplified Meaning:
When we think about helping people who are poor, we often focus on giving them food, money, or shelter. But there's another kind of help that is just as important: caring for their hearts and souls. Many people who are poor are very open to faith and spiritual support because they often go through tough times. They need God's love, guidance, and blessings as much as anyone else. We should not ignore this need and should offer them spiritual support, like listening to their worries, praying with them, and helping them feel part of a faith community. This way, they can grow stronger not just in body, but in spirit too. For example, imagine a community center that not only provides meals but also holds weekly group prayers and discussions about hope and faith. This approach helps people feel loved and supported in all aspects of their lives.
