Share The Journey: Love Your Neighbor

“Share The Journey: Love Your Neighbor" is a Week Of Prayer And Action from October 7 ^th to 13 ^th.
 
" The Church is Mother, and her motherly attention is expressed with special tenderness and closeness to those who are obliged to flee their own country and exist between rootlessness and integration.  This tension destroys people.  Christian compassion - this 'suffering with' compassion - is expressed first of all in the commitment to obtain knowledge of the events that force people to leave their homeland, and where necessary, to give voice to those who cannot manage to make their cry of distress and oppression heard.  They are all elements that dehumanize and must push every Christian and the whole community to concrete attention."

Pope Francis, in an address to the Participants in the Plenary of the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and ltinerant People, May 24, 2013.
