How do we view our brothers and sisters who are less fortunate as far as financial status is concerned?
“Another mouth to be fed?”
“A mere useless parasite?”
“An added problem to our society?”
What does our HOLY MOTHER CHURCH see in them...
SHE WHO ALWAYS LOOK AT THE WORLD WITH THE EYES OF JESUS?
They are HER MOST PRECIOUS TREASURE...
HER CROWN JEWELS...
HER FINE LINEN...
That is why, even if society falls deaf to HER invitation to ERADICATE THE SOURCES OF POVERTY, which is CORRUPTION, UN-EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH AND UNJUST RESTRICTION OF PROGRESS TO A CHOSEN FEW, SHE shows us how to EMPOWER these, HER BELOVED ONES:
And not to mention the VARIOUS RELIGIOUS ORDERS, RELIGIOUS CONGREGATIONS AND SOCIETIES OF APOSTOLIC LIFE that TIRELESSLY ASSIST OUR HOLY MOTHER CHURCH through silent but CONCRETE ACTS OF CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY THAT BEARS FRUIT IN PRO-GROWTH REFORMS!
The poor is THE ECONOMIC FORCE of our society, for they are the very hands that toil our lands and yield our crops, the very hands that work in our factories, the very hands that has and will still MAKE OUR NATION GREAT AGAIN!
MABUHAY ANG MANGGAGAWANG MARALITA!
