“Mercy impels us to roll up our sleeves and set about restoring dignity to millions of people; they are our brothers and sisters who, with us, are called to build a ‘city which is reliable’ [Encyclical Letter Lumen Fidei, 50].” — Pope Francis

Reflection: What is your typical reaction to being asked to reach out to someone who society typically considers less deserving of respect? When was the last time you rolled up your sleeves to make a positive, physical difference in your neighborhood? How are you contributing to making your local parish and civic communities places that treat people with dignity?
