Pope Francis on Monday, April 6, lent his voice to the coronavirus pandemic and the connection it has with overcrowded prisons
– The head of the Catholic church also spoke on the need not to relegate the poor in the society
– Pope said how we all treat the less privilege will inform the kind of judgment God will serve everyone
See the tweet below:
We will be judged on our relationship with the poor. When Jesus says, "The poor you will always have with you", he is saying, "I will always be with you in the poor; I will be present there". This is at the center of the Gospel, so much so that we will be judged on it.
In another tweet, the pope said that overcrowded prisons will face great danger during the present coronavirus outbreak.
He, therefore, called for prayer for those in charge to come up with a befitting action to resolve the situation.
In those prisons that are overcrowded, there is the danger that this pandemic will end up as a grave tragedy. Let us #PrayTogether for those responsible, for those who must make decisions, so that they might find a correct and creative way to resolve this problem.
