“We cannot sleep peacefully while babies are dying of hunger and the elderly are without medical assistance.”
— Pope Francis
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you live in a neighborhood where some families are facing really tough times. One family has a baby, but they can't get enough food. Another family has an elderly person who is very sick but can't see a doctor. The quote is saying that it’s difficult for us to feel truly at ease or comfortable when we know there are people, especially those most vulnerable like babies and the elderly, suffering from hunger and illness right around us. It’s like when you see a friend in trouble. Even if your own life is going well, you can still worry about them and want to help. If more people had enough food and decent healthcare, everyone could feel more peaceful and happy. So, the message here is encouraging us to be more aware and care for others, especially those in dire need. By helping the less fortunate, we can help create a better and more caring community.
