“It is essential to be aware of new forms of poverty and venerability in which we are called to recognize the suffering Christ, even if this appears to bring us no tangible and immediate benefits. I think of the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned and many others. I am speaking of creation as a whole.....All of us, as Christians, are called to watch over and protect the fragile world in which we live, and all its peoples.” Pope Francis: The Joy Of The Gospel.
