Vatican, 31 August, 2023 / 12:14 pm (ACI Africa).
Pope Francis’ prayer intention for the month of September is for people living on the margins.
“A homeless person who dies on the street will never appear among the top stories of search engines or newscasts,” the pope said in a video released Aug. 29.
The Holy Father questioned: “How could we have reached this level of indifference?”
He goes on to ask how we as a society have allowed the “throwaway culture” to “dominate our lives, our cities, our way of life?”
“Our necks are going to get stiff from looking the other way so we don’t have to see this situation,” he said.
