Option for the Poor and Vunerable

As christians we are called to serve the poor. By helping the poor, we help the whole community. We must show as much care as Jesus did to people who are vulnerable. The Church fels like we should stand:) by the poor to help them care for themselves. we can have a good community if we help the people who don't have as much as we do. The poor are the people who need to be treated the most in our society. They have a specail place in the Catholic Social Teachings. As catholics we need to answer to the needs of people but the poor are the people who need the most help. .

The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains: "Those who are oppressed by poverty are the object of a preferential love on the part of the Church which, since her origin and in spite of the failings of many of her members, has not ceased to work for their relief, defense, and liberation through numerous works of charity which remain indispensable always and everywhere.
Pope Benedict XVI has taught that “love for widows and orphans, prisoners, and the sick and needy of every kind, is as essential to [the Church] as the ministry of the sacraments and preaching of the Gospel”
