Catholic Social Teaching Thought for the Week – 30th June 2024 By drawing closer to the poor, little by little we become their confidants and counsellors in the worst moments of this earthly pilgrimage. We can give them the comforting words of faith and often we succeed, not by our own merit, in putting on the right road people who have strayed without meaning to.”
