Peter’s Pence Collection – Be a Witness of Charity
Embarking on the third year of his pontificate, Pope Francis continues to call each of us to be a
witness of charity. “To love God and neighbor is not something abstract,” he said, “but
profoundly concrete: it means seeing in every person the face of the Lord to be served, to serve
him concretely.” Pope Francis shows through his actions what it means to serve our brothers and
sisters and give them the love of Christ. Let us follow his example of service so that all people
might have the joy of receiving Jesus through our presence: “And you are, dear brothers and
sisters, the face of Jesus.”
