“Poverty in the world is a scandal. In a world where there is so much wealth,
so many resources to feed everyone, it is unfathomable

without an education, so many poor persons.”
Pope Francis, 2013

“Poverty today is a cry. We all have to think
if we can become a little poorer, all of us have to do this.
How can I become a little poorer in order to be more like Jesus, who was the poor Teacher?”
Pope Francis, 2013

Living in simpler apartments
instead of the usual palace for
Popes
His choices remind us to think of the poor
He sold two motorbikes he was given and donated the money to the poor.
Deciding not to wear fancy and expensive clothes and accessories just because it
was expected.

Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, "You lack one thing;
go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor,
and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
When he heard this, he was shocked and went away
grieving, for he had many possessions. Mark 10:21-22
