World Day of the Poor
33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
To commemorate the World Day of the Poor (November 18, 2018), Catholic media throughout the Archdiocese of Toronto have partnered to draw greater attention to this important occasion in the life of the church. Please join us in prayer and outreach as the global church lifts its collective voice to support the poor among us. This initiative draws on work conducted by the Catholic Media Commission, chaired by Bishop Robert Kasun.
“This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him”
Pope Francis invites all the faithful in our parishes, associations and ecclesial movements to make tangible the Church’s response to the cry of the poor, to experience this World Day as a privileged moment of new evangelization.
The Pope emphasizes that poor evangelize us and help us each day to discover the beauty of the Gospel. On this Second World Day of the Poor the Holy Father hopes that all of us feel that we are in debt to the poor, because, in hands outstretched to one another, a salvific encounter can take place to strengthen our faith, inspire our charity and enable our hope to advance securely on our path towards the Lord who is to come.
