Unit 2 Lesson 3 THY4
Our faith in Christ, who became poor and was always close to
the poor and the outcast, is the basis of our concern for the
integral development of society’s most neglected members.”
Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium, no. 186.
The poor are dialogue partners in mission for they are, like
people of other faith and culture, instruments of evangelization.
“Neighborhoods function when
people are neither too close nor too
far, not overly involved in each
other’s lives but not indifferent from
each other.” Further, this
neighborliness, “involves face-to-
face relationships that go beyond
the faceless world of the political,
on the one hand, and the intimate
and private world of family and
friends, on the other hand. In other
words we are not condemned to
relating only either as friends or
enemies. We can also be neighbors.”
Pope Francis, Evangelii
Gaudium, no. 49.
