For People Living on the Margins

Pope Francis requests prayer and action for those “for those people who live on the margins of society in subhuman living conditions, that they may not be neglected by institutions and never be cast out.”

He asks “How is it that we allow the ‘throwaway culture,’ in which millions of men and women are worth nothing compared to economic goods, to dominate our lives?” “Please,” the Pope implores, “let’s stop making invisible those who are on the margins of society, whether it’s due to poverty, addictions, mental illness or disability.”
