A cardinal for migrants: Italy's Archbishop Francesco Montenegro (11 February 2015)

The Gospel is about the poor: if we removed from the Gospel the pages about the poor, only the cover would remain, so if I want to live the Gospel, I must take the poor into account. And if I take the poor into account, perhaps I can really meet Jesus, since he identifies himself with the poor.
