For Pope Francis, a powerful witness…going out into the world, to the margins of society, “That is where God is working in the world and where he calls us to be.” …with those who suffer… speaking out on the need to welcome refugees, people, not numbers, amid a global crisis. – Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago.
