Catholic News Agency: “Faced with the tragedy of tens of thousands of refugees fleeing death on account of war and hunger, and who are traveling toward a hope for life, the Gospel calls us to be ‘neighbors’ to the smallest and abandoned, (and) to give them a concrete hope,” the Pope said Sept. 6.
He said it’s not enough to just say “Courage, patience!” because hope “is combative, with the tenacity of those who go toward a safe destination.”
“Therefore, in the imminence of the Year of Mercy, I make an appeal to the parishes, to religious communities, to monasteries, and sanctuaries of all Europe to express the concreteness of the Gospel, and to welcome a family of refugees.” More on this here.
Meanwhile, jahadist refugees spread mayhem in Hungary and Germany, the latter country opening its doors to 800,000 refugees, overwhelmingly Moslem, by the end of 2015 with a pledge to take in 500,000 per year after. These radical refugees shown here are not the kind of people to invite into your rectory or monastery.
