Pope Francis tweeted on
World Anti-Poverty Day Thursday that "we ask today for the grace
of compassion, the capacity of taking on the poverty of our
brothers an sisters. #EndPoverty".
The pope also recalled the message in the Gospel of Matthew:
"I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me
drink".
Francis has often railed against the injustice of world
poverty.
