        Pope Francis wants to emphasize that we can not abandon those who have been marginalized. We pray for all those, especially, the poor, and also including refugees. Those who have been marginalized should be welcomed and comforted into our communities.

 ​      Pope Francis’ homily at Casa Santa Marta taught Christians more about the idea of charity. As Christians, we should not just give what is left is left over, but rather give what is one’s own. Giving to the poor what one may need for themselves will in turn enrich that individual because “Jesus Himself told us that He is in the poor person.”
