5th World day of the Poor: November 14, 2021
33rd Sunday in Ordinary time - Daniel 12: 1-3; Hebrew 10: 11-14,18; Mark 13: 24-32
The Poor - Let us become aware of the varied forms of poverty that exists all around us, without losing sight of the poverty that rests even within us!
The Poor with us - Let us recognise the sufferings of people all around us...suffering due to want, disease, oppression, injustice, discrimination, insensitivity of the world, greed and malice.
The Poor we have - Let us not merely feel sorry for the poor, the suffering and the needy! Let us own them up! Let us consider them our own brothers and sisters.
Let our lives show, instruct and teach us to live with a sensitive heart: that the poor we have always with us!
