Pope Francis gives support to “Más por Menos” in Argentina

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis has given his support for the “Más por Menos” [More for Less] campaign taking place in Argentina on 10-11 September.

During those days, a collection will be made to help the less fortunate in the country.

In a message sent through the Secretary of State, the Holy Father encouraged the participants to “make great personal and communal efforts to reach out to the multitude of needy brothers and sisters who feel excluded from society, and to bring to the them the closeness and love of God.”

Pope Francis invited those involved to “be sensitive to the cry of anguish” from so many people who have been “marginalized and discarded,” and to help them.

“May Christ, the true merciful face of the Father, give them the experience of the joy of sharing their time, their treasure, and their lives with those whom God loves with a preferential love, the poor and homeless,” concluded the message.
