Pope Francis is living the Gospel of  Jesus of Nazareth. He comforts the homeless and challenges us to transform unjust economic structures that keep people in poverty.  The disparity between rich and poor is morally wrong.  Pope Francis reminds us that we must live the vision that we advocate.

Let us pray that it may be so. Bridget Mary Meehan, www.arcwp.org, sofiabmm@aol.com
