The Catholic social teaching principle Option for the Poor encourages us to imitate Christ’s love for the poor by working to create a society where the needs of the poor are always considered first. The option for the poor reminds us of God’s preferential love for the poorest and most vulnerable people. God’s love is universal; he loves the humble.
‘The poor do not need intermediaries, but the personal involvement of all those who hear their cry.’ Pope Francis, Second World Day Of The Poor
