2) francis observed that ��€��he was so content that he failed to realize that lazarus lay at the door of his home covered in sores: a poor homeless man, and like a good homeless man he had a dog��€� .

3) journey home: ��€��this is our life: to believe and take to the road��€� like abram, who ��€��trusted in the lord and also journeyed amid hardship and difficulty��€� .

89 Forgiveness in a caress (7 April 2014)
9) if instead ��€��jesus had said: poor woman, forgive her!��€� , then they would have grounds to accuse him ��€��of not fulfilling the law��€� .

90 Forgiveness in a caress (7 April 2014)
8) would have provided them the opportunity to say to the people: ��€ ��but this is your good teacher, look what he has done to this poor woman!��€� .

91 Misery and glory (8 April 2014)
3) we don��€�™t have other things to boast about: this is our poverty and misery��€� .

92 Christian community in three brushstrokes (29 April 2014)

97 The Christian identity card (9 June 2014)
3) this is why jesus said, ��€��blessed are the poor in spirit, whose hearts are humble, because the lord can enter��€� .

98 The Christian identity card (9 June 2014)
2) ��€��jesus himself said so in the parable of the wheat farmer��€� , which talks about the rich man who, in poor judgment, doesn��€�™t imagine that he could die the same day.

99 The Christian identity card (9 June 2014)
5) here is the meaning of his words, ��€��blessed are the poor in spirit��€� : that is, ��€��poverty versus wealth��€� .

100 When the poor end up paying (16 June 2014)
2) pope francis invited prayer for the many ��€��martyrs of corruption��€� , that ��€��the lord draws us near to them��€� and give to these poor the ��€��strength to move forward�� €� in their witness.

101 When the poor end up paying (16 June 2014)
1) of his fathers, of his ancestors, his values��€� : a witness so much more meaningful considering that often, ��€��when there is corruption��€� , even the poor risk losing ��€��their values, because the customs and laws become imposed, which run against the values we received from our ancestors��€� .

102 When the poor end up paying (16 June 2014)

107 Treasure hunt (20 June 2014)
3) in other words, here today and gone tomorrow, because ��€��power ends: so many great, proud, powerful men and women died in obscurity, in poverty or in prison...��€� .

108 The Gospel in your pocket (1 September 2014)

112 Appearance and truth (14 October 2014)
1) fr arrupe, recalled the pontiff, said that he had ��€��suffered great humiliation��€� and had put up with her only for the good of ��€��the poor of japan, for the mission��€� .

113 God always goes the distance (6 November 2014)
3) and this way ��€�” referring to another parable, that of the prodigal son ��€�” ��€��even that poor elderly man who saw his son at a distance��€� , even �� €��he went all the way, as far as he could, that is,

114 Where the light comes from (24 November 2014)
1) the pontiff recreated the scene of the gospel narrative: ��€��a poor woman in the midst of the powerful, in the midst of the doctors, the priests, the scribes... also in the midst of those rich men giving their offerings , a few even doing so to show off��€� .

115 Only the humble understand (2 December 2014)
2) holy spirit which makes us rejoice, as we heard in the gospel, praising the father, and which leads to bring the good news to the poor and the marginalized�� €� .

116 Only the humble understand (2 December 2014)
2) he says instead: ��€��look, you have seen all of this; tell john what you have seen��€� : in other words, that ��€��lepers are healed, the poor receive the good news, and the outcast are found��€� .

117 Only the humble understand (2 December 2014)
4) for ��€��only this poverty is capable of receiving the revelation that the father gives through jesus��€� .

118 Only the humble understand (2 December 2014)
3) in a word, ��€��only those who go forth with the first beatitude: the poor in spirit��€� .

119 Founded on rock (4 December 2014)
2) moreover, pope francis said, ��€��the poor will be those who triumph, the poor in spirit, those who feel themselves nothing before god, the humble��€� who ��€��bring forth salvation, but putting the word of the lord into practice��€� .

120 Darkness of the heart (15 December 2014)
6) because pius xii did what jesus had done: ��€��he saw the needs of the people: ��€��the poor people, with such zeal!��€�™.

121 They shall be first (16 December 2014)
4) when we are able to do this, then ��€��we will be that beautiful people ��€�” ��€��the humble and poor people��€�™ ��€�” who trust in the name of the lord��€� .

122 They shall be first (16 December 2014)
1) holy people of god, who are humble, who have their treasure in the faith in the lord, in the trust in the lord; the humble, poor people who confide in the lord��€� , here we meet ��€��the saved ones��€� , for ��€��this is the path��€� that the church must

123 They shall be first (16 December 2014)
1) here the pope identified ��€��the three characteristics of the faithful people of god: humility, poverty and trust in the lord��€� .

124 We are history (18 December 2014)
3) he is a noble man: because it would destroy the poor administrator to know the woman was unfaithful��€� .

125 Hardened hearts (9 January 2015)
5) objected: ��€��but the law says this, it says this up to here...��€� , and thus ��€��they would make another commandment��€� ; in the end, ��€��the poor souls, they were leaning on 300-400 commandments and they felt secure��€� .

126 That first love (30 January 2015)
5) this is why, the bishop of rome stated, ��€��lukewarm christians, the poor souls, are in grave danger��€� .

127 I will cure you (5 February 2015)
2) the profile of an apostle ��€�” who in simplicity and poverty proclaims the gospel with the one true power that comes from god ��€�” is recognized instead in the plain words that jesus recommends to the disciples returning with joy from their mission: ��€��we are unworthy servants��€� .

128 Abstaining from injustice (20 February 2015)
4) of wickedness, cut the thongs of the yoke, let the oppressed go free and break every yoke, share your bread with the hungry, bring the poor and the homeless into your house, clothe those you see naked, without neglecting your kin� ��€� .

129 Nameless (5 March 2015)
3) on the other hand are ��€��abraham, our father; lazarus, a man who struggles because he is good and poor and has so much pain; and moses, the man who gives us the law��€� .

130 Nameless (5 March 2015)
1) after the two stories and the two judgements, francis also reiterated ��€��the three names��€� offered in the gospel reading: ��€��they are that of the poor man, lazarus, that of abraham, and that of moses��€� .

131 Nameless (5 March 2015)
2) how is it possible that this man didn��€�™t realize that lazarus was there, below his house, poor and starving?

132 Nameless (5 March 2015)
1) then there is ��€��the second story, that of lazarus��€� , the poor mendicant who lay at the rich man��€�™s gate.

133 Nameless (5 March 2015)
2) the two stories are those of the parable, narrated by luke (16:19-31), of the rich man and of the poor man named lazarus.

134 Three women and three judges (23 March 2015)
3) and there are three judges: one innocent woman: susanna; another, a sinner, the adulteress; and a third, the one from the gospel of luke, a poor widow��€� .

135 Harmony, poverty and patience (14 April 2015)
1) there are three types of grace to ask for christian communities: harmony, poverty and grace.

136 Harmony, poverty and patience (14 April 2015)
1) harmony, poverty and patience

137 The counsel of Paul (5 May 2015)
1) we should never forget that ��€��in life we must go through hardship��€� , because that ��€��is the law of life��€� ; but we should always remember in those moments to ��€��entrust ourselves to the lord��€� .

138 The counsel of Paul (5 May 2015)
1) this then is the meaning of ��€��undergoing hardship��€� .

139 The counsel of Paul (5 May 2015)
1) but paul��€�™s counsel ��€��to enter the kingdom of god through many hardships is not a sadomasochistic attitude: it is the christian struggle��€� .

140 The counsel of Paul (5 May 2015)
2) paul, therefore, ��€��suffered��€� , but then, ��€��he rose��€� , and he exhorted them to ��€��persevere in the faith, because we must enter the kingdom of god through much hardship��€� .

141 Beguiled by the serpent (25 May 2015)
1) from this point the pope derived valuable advice for everyone: those who possess riches need to refer ��€��to the first beatitude: ��€��blessed are the poor in spirit��€�™; that is to say, to strip themselves of this attachment and let the riches that the lord has given be for the

142 Our wage from Jesus (26 May 2015)
2) ��€��when one wants to follow both jesus and the world, both poverty and wealth��€� , the outcome is ��€��halfway christianity, which seeks material gain: it is the spirit of worldliness��€� .

143 How to safeguard the heart (15 June 2015)
2) he then added: ��€��paul speaks of ministry but also of the christian witness, so that no fault may be found with it; and of peace and humility ��€��in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, tumults, labours, watching, hunger��€� .

144 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
1) the pope then prayed: ��€��that the lord enable us to understand the path of christian poverty and the attitude that we must have when we help the poor��€� .

145 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
5) and ��€��being poor in spirit��€� , the pontiff continued, means ��€��going on this path of the lord��€� , who ��€��so humbled himself��€� as to become ��€��bread for us��€� in the eucharistic sacrifice.

146 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
4) thus it is understood ��€��why the first of the beatitudes is: ��€��blessed are the poor in spirit��€�™��€� .

147 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
2) poverty ��€��is at the heart of the gospel��€� .

148 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
1) this is because, francis concluded, poverty ��€��is not an ideology��€� .

149 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
2) this happens ��€��each time i strip myself of something, but not only of the excess, to give to a poor person, to a poor community, to so many poor people who lack everything��€� , because �� €��the poor enrich me��€� insomuch as ��€��it

150 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
1) same concept when he writes: ��€��our lord jesus christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich��€� .

151 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
4) and why do the poor enrich me?

152 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
3) because christian poverty means ��€��that i give of my own and not from excess��€� , even from my basic necessities, ��€��to the poor, for i know that they enrich me��€� .

153 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
2) this is a ��€��good��€� act, a ��€��human��€� act, but ��€��this is not the christian poverty that paul wants, that paul preaches��€� .

154 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
6) it is not only becoming poor, but is going ��€��even a step further��€� , because, he said, ��€��the poor enrich me��€� .

155 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
5) francis emphasized: ��€��being poor is allowing yourself to be enriched by the poverty of christ and not wanting a wealth of other treasures which are not those of christ, it is doing what christ did��€� .

156 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
4) this ��€��is the very core of the theology of poverty��€� , which, after all, is seen again in the first beatitude: ��€��blessed are the poor in spirit��€� .

157 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
2) you know the grace of our lord jesus christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich��€� .

158 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
1) at this point, the pope explained, that ��€��paul, with his thoughts, reaches the bedrock of what we can call ��€��the theology of poverty��€�™ and why poverty is at the heart of the gospel��€� .

159 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
5) there is, said the pontiff, ��€��a mutual exchange��€� and thus, ��€��from poverty comes wealth��€� .

160 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
4) those who are financially wealthy are poor in reality, ��€��without the gospel message��€� .

161 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
3) and it is ��€��this poor church of jerusalem��€� , which enriched the church of corinth ��€��with the gospel message: they gave her the treasure of the gospel��€� .

162 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
2) there, ��€��in a severe test of affliction ��€�” for they suffered greatly through persecutions ��€�” their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of liberality on their part�� €� .

163 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
1) thus, st paul explains the catechesis ��€��on charity and on poverty and on wealth��€� , beginning with an example taken from the experience of the church of macedonia.

164 Wealth and poverty (16 June 2015)
7) but instead, the pope underscored, ��€��poverty is at the very heart of the gospel��€� , such that ��€��if we were to remove poverty from the gospel, nothing would be understood of jesus��€ �™ message ��€� .

165 In heavenâs stock exchange (19 June 2015)
2) ��€�” made himself poor to enrich us��€� .

166 In heavenâs stock exchange (19 June 2015)
2) paul himself, francis continued, referring to the first reading (2 cor 11:18, 21-30), ��€��lived as a poor man and what did he boast of?

167 In heavenâs stock exchange (19 June 2015)
1) after all, the pope explained, ��€��the lord in his life lived as a poor man, but such treasures!��€� .

168 How and how much (19 October 2015)
9) and, by no coincidence, when ��€��he explains the way to salvation, the beatitudes, the first is poverty of spirit, that is, ��€��don��€�™t be attached to possessions�� €�™: blessed are the poor in spirit��€� , those who ��€��are not attached��€� to riches.

169 The way of peace (19 November 2015)
3) and ��€��while arms dealers do their work, there are poor peacemakers who, simply in order to help one person, and another and another, give their life��€� .

170 A daily struggle (20 November 2015)
1) francis focused on this fundamental concept, recalling again the images of the old testament where we see ��€��that poor elderly priest��€� who was ��€��there, weak��€� and ��€��allowed his priest sons to become corrupted��€� .

171 The one treasure (23 November 2015)
2) said: ��€��this poor widow has put in more than all of them; for they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all the living that she had��€�™��€� .

172 Three traits (15 December 2015)
3) humble because they feel they are sinners; poor because their heart is attached to god��€�™s treasures, and if they have them it is only to administer them; seeking refuge in the lord because they know that the lord alone can guarantee what is good for them��€� .

173 Three traits (15 December 2015)
2) thus the poor are actually ��€��the treasure of the church��€� .

174 Three traits (15 December 2015)
2) in this regard pope francis recalled that poverty is ��€��the first of the beatitudes��€� , but what does it mean to be ��€��poor in spirit��€� ?

175 A struggle with God (12 January 2016)
1) the pope then analyzed the character of eli, who was not wicked but was ��€��a poor man��€� for whom francis feels ��€��a certain fondness��€� , because ��€��in myself too� ��€� , he admitted, ��€��i find defects that bring me

176 Without measure (28 January 2016)
4) after speaking ��€��of the seed that manages to bear fruit��€� and of those seeds that after falling ��€��on poor soil cannot bear fruit��€� , jesus ��€��tells us of the lamp� ��€� , which is not to be placed under a bushel but in a candlestick.

177 A name or an adjective (25 February 2016)
4) then there is ��€��a poor man named lazarus��€� at his gate, ��€��full of sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man��€�™s table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores��€� .

178 Salvation in the little things (29 February 2016)
1) casuistry ��€�” ��€��this can be done to this point, to that point...��€�™ ��€�” and thus i don��€�™t know how many commandments they had, and the poor people...��€ � .

179 Modern-day leeches (19 May 2016)
1) words of the apostle james the day��€�™s liturgy also offered, from psalm 48, ��€��a beautiful, calm meditation, on poverty��€� ��€�” ��€ ��blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven��€�™��€� .

180 Modern-day leeches (19 May 2016)
5) when ��€��wealth is made by exploiting people��€� , those poor people ��€��become slaves��€� .

181 Ode to joy (23 May 2016)
3) jesus made a proposal to this young man: ��€��there is one thing you lack: sell all that you have, give everything to the poor and come, follow me��€� ; but upon hearing these words the man��€�™s ��€��face was grim and he went away sorrowful��€� .

182 Day after day (24 May 2016)
2) each one of us, the pope said, can ��€��ask the lord for this grace��€� , and ��€��with simplicity��€� can pray: ��€��lord, i am a poor man , but you can perform a miracle and make me a little better��€� .

183 Courageous women (31 May 2016)
1) in this respect, the pope took a moment to call to mind ��€��the courageous women who are in the church��€� and who ��€��are like our

184 Look in the mirror (20 June 2016)
4) otherwise, ��€��i am being a hypocrite because i put myself in god��€�™s place��€� , pope francis repeated, and ��€��my judgment is a poor judgment: it lacks a very important thing that we find in god��€�™s judgment: mercy��€� .

185 Look in the mirror (20 June 2016)
2) this is true, but our judgment is a poor judgment: it can never, never be a true judgment��€� , precisely because ��€��true judgment is what god gives��€� .

186 We are all Corinthians (12 September 2016)
3) in this case the rich prepare ��€��to eat, to celebrate; the poor do not, they have a bit of bread and nothing more in their celebration��€� .

187 For a culture of encounter (13 September 2016)
3) we limit ourselves to saying: ��€��oh, what a shame, poor people, they suffer so much��€� , and then we move on.

188 For a culture of encounter (13 September 2016)
2) after all, ��€��jesus did not say: ��€��what a poor woman!��€�™��€� .

189 For a culture of encounter (13 September 2016)
1) not just seeing, but looking; not just hearing, but listening; not just passing people by, but stopping with them; not just saying ��€��what a shame, poor people!��€� , but allowing yourself to be moved with compassion; ��€��and then to draw near, to touch and to say: ��€��do not weep��€�™ and

190 The disgrace of war (20 September 2016)
1) from the book of proverbs (21:1-6,10-13) ��€�” francis repeated the concluding phrase in particular: �� €��he who closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself cry out and not be heard��€� .

191 With the tears of father and mother (27 October 2016)
4) and ��€��he says this to the poor victims, as well as to arms traffickers, and all those who sell the lives of people��€� .

192 With the tears of father and mother (27 October 2016)
5) and ��€��this father is certain, he did not go to his neighbours and say: ��€��look at what happened to me, what this poor wretch did to me, i condemn this son!��€ � no, he does not do this��€� .

193 Letter of Love (11 November 2016)
3) it is ��€��for this reason that the deacon lawrence said that the poor are the treasure of the church, since they are the suffering flesh of christ��€� .

194 Three voices (24 November 2016)
9) adoration is indeed a ��€��beautiful prayer, because this prayer speaks volumes: ��€��you are god, i am a poor child loved by you��€�™��€� .

195 Spiritual leopards (1 December 2016)
3) this is the attitude of those who ��€��blame others, who blame the poor tax collector��€� .

196 Spiritual leopards (1 December 2016)
6) of course, making that accusation ��€��cost poor stephen his life, but he was speaking the truth��€� .

197 The intuition of Magdalene (5 December 2016)
4) so the poor man did another penance, another prayer, another vigil: ��€��i gave you this, lord, okay?��€�™ ��€�“ ��€��no, something is lacking��€�™ ��€�“ but what is lacking, lord?��€�™ ��€�“ ��€��your sins are lacking, give me your sins!�� €�™��€� .

198 The intuition of Magdalene (5 December 2016)
2) who believes��€�™: jesus had said this to the father of that [possessed] child after the transfiguration; ��€��i believe, lord, but help my unbelief��€�™, said the poor man��€� .

199 People discarded (13 December 2016)
4) but ��€��the victim is the same: the poor and humble people, who await the lord��€� .

200 People discarded (13 December 2016)
1) it is ��€��awful��€� , francis said, that ��€��these humble and poor people��€� are ��€��discarded��€� by those ��€��who have distanced themselves from him��€� , and ��€��who lambaste them��€� .
