Our Youth

YV: Reflect upon the following quote by Pope Francis

“The hungry ask us for dignity, not charity.”

Nobody likes to be looked down upon. So, we should treat even the hungry and poor as our equals rather then just give them money out of pity.

Everyone should treat people in need with respect. It is fine for people to ask for help sometimes. Everyone should do their best to help those in need. That is what caring for God’s creation is all about.

Those who suffer in poverty do not look for riches, rather, they ask to be recognized as humans, like you and me.

You don’t have to be rich in order to help. Just a small amount of money, generosity or a giving hand could make a difference. In other words, it’s not the amount that counts, but the generosity, pride and integrity that goes into helping.

The hungry don’t always need money or other objects. They always need respect and love.
