Pope Benedict has encouraged to world to display a courageous showing of brotherhood in face of the global economic crisis.
In times when people are left searching for hope, people need to be able to rely on “the courage of of brotherhood,” the pontiff told the Italian branch of Caritas.
Lamenting the divide between rich and poor, Benedict said “Humanity is searching for signs of hope.”
The Pope said the risk is that hope will diminish amidst the troubles and young people will feel uncertain.
“The divide between north and south in the world, and the harm to human dignity of so many people, require charity that is capable of expanding in concentric circles, from small economic systems to large ones,” Benedict said.
The world does not only need benefactors, but serious study and consideration as to why our neighbours are hungry, Benedict said.
