Pope Francis presented his message to the participants of the sixth ‘Brazilian Social Week’ organized by the Pastoral Commission for the Action of Social Transformation at the Brazilian Bishops’ Conference. In 1991, this type of social week program was organized for the first time in the country. In his message, the Pope reiterated the need to include those who are marginalized in society.
The Pope said to stand with poor people and those who need infrastructure in their struggle for land, housing and work. The Pope suggested that decisions aimed at the welfare of the nation should be based on a new economy and a revival of democratic values that would help build a society with truly popular participation. The Pope also shared his gratitude to those who coordinate things accordingly.
The Pope added that he hopes that this Social Week will lead to many results in favor of a more just society. The Pope wished everyone to be able to implement general brotherhood and social friendship in their lives. The Pope reminded them not to be indifferent to social injustices, but to strive to see the face of Jesus in those who are victims.
