Experience Pope Francis’ Mass for the 7th World Day of the Poor in St. Peter’s Basilica, a moving event that underscores the urgent need to combat poverty. In his compelling homily, Pope Francis urges us to spread charity and love, highlighting that “Poverty is a scandal.” Observed on the 33rd Sunday of Ordinary Time each year, the World Day of the Poor calls for global compassion and generosity towards the needy. This year’s theme, “Do not turn your face away from anyone who is poor,” is a profound reminder of our collective responsibility. Since its inception by Pope Francis in 2017, this day has become an essential observance in the Church. The day’s events also included a special lunch with poor people and refugees.
