CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis encouraged members of Unicoop Florence and the Il cuore si scoglie [The Hearts Melts] Foundation to “live charity, active love.”
“The encounter between those who have greater possibilities and those in poverty, far from being reduced to mere philanthropy, always constitutes a providential opportunity for mutual enrichment,” the Pope said in his address. “In this way you propose a model of protection that unites individuals not so much ‘against’ the threat of a common adversary, as ‘for’ the construction of virtuous relations of mutual support.”
