Pope sends videomessage to Social
Doctrine Festival
Pope Francis sends a video message to participants of the
Festival of Social Doctrine of the Churh taking place in the northern Italian
city of Verona.
By Vatican News
Pope Francis sent a video message on Thursday to
participants in the 9th Festival of the Social Doctrine
of the Church, taking place in the Italian city of Verona from 21
to 24 November.
The Pope said the theme of the festival, focusing on
“Presence” invites us to never shy away from looking reality in the eye and
being close to those who are marginalized and alone.
“Presence is not a theory,” he said, “it is something
concrete that is expressed through sharing, accompaniment or simply by being
close to someone.”
He called on all people of goodwill to do their part in
helping to weave a social fabric in which all members of society “are
important: the sick, the poor, children, the elderly, workers, professionals,
entrepreneurs, those who are learned and those who are not.”
