In his message about the November 15th,
observance of the World Day of the Poor,
Pope Francis uses the theme from Sirach:
STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND TO THE POOR
to remind us that prayer to God and
solidarity with the poor and suffering are inseparable.
Our FAITH and our prayer
”attains their goal when accompanied by service to the poor.”
