Pope sends message to Italian
Caritas convention
Pope Francis urges participants to become 'apostles of
charity' to those on the margins of society
Pope Francis has sent greetings to the 40th national
convention of Italy’s diocesan Caritas groups, urging them to step up their
commitment to the poorest and most marginalized people.
In the letter signed by the Vatican Secretary of State,
Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Pope recalls the first two presidents of the
Italian Caritas network, who, he said, enriched the Church with a heritage that
continues to bear “authentic fruits of charity and mercy” today.
In the message the Pope says he hopes the meeting, taking
place in Abano Terme from April 16th to 19th, will
inspire participants to become “apostles of charity” to those on the margins of
society.
Looking ahead to the forthcoming Synod of Bishops in
October, the convention is discussing the theme ‘Young is….#asharingcommunity’
