Pope Francis: “Today we think of people with #DownSyndrome. May they be welcomed, appreciated, and never discarded, right from their mother’s womb.”

Pope Francis: “There are a few who have too much, and too many who have little….Many do not have food to eat and live adrift while a few drown in excess. This perverse current of inequality is disastrous for humanity’s future.”

Pope Francis: “May God’s mercy towards us move us to be merciful towards our neighbors.”

Pope Francis: “The battle against hunger and misery will also be won, if it is tackled seriously.”

Pope Francis: “Without mercy we can do nothing; without mercy, neither I nor you nor any of us can do a thing.”

Pope Francis: “Let us walk together taking care of each other and of Creation, our common home.”
