Pope: “No to a society that races ahead at full speed and forgets the vulnerable”

Rome, Dec. 2 (LaPresse) – “We cannot forget the most vulnerable; we cannot imagine a society that races ahead at full speed, clinging to false myths of well-being and ignoring so many situations of poverty and vulnerability.” Pope Leo XIV said this during his visit to the Hospital de la Croix in Jal ed Dib, Lebanon. “In particular, we Christians, who are the Church of the Lord Jesus, are called to care for the poor: the Gospel itself asks this of us,” added the Pope, who then emphasized: “To you, dear brothers and sisters marked by illness, I would just like to remind you that you are in the heart of God our Father. He carries you in the palm of his hands, accompanies you with love, and offers you his tenderness through the hands and smiles of those who care for your lives. To each of you today, the Lord repeats: I love you, I care for you, you are my child! Never forget that.”
