Pope Francis: audience, hospitality is "a duty for all, no one excluded"

Hospitality and solidarity with migrants and refugees are “a duty for all of us, no one excluded”, Pope Francis pointed out in his general audience catechesis today. “Dioceses, parishes, institutes of consecrated life, movements and associations, as well as individual Christians, we are all called to welcome our brothers and sisters who are fleeing war, hunger, violence and inhuman life conditions. All together, we are a great force to support those who have lost their homeland, family, work and dignity”.
