The joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the men of this age, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ. (Gaudium et Spes #1)
Holy Father's Prayer Intention:
That the world economy may be managed according to the principles of justice and equity, taking account of the real needs of peoples, especially the poorest.
