Message of Pope Francis

• Pope Francis addressed the ICN2 – Called for solidarity in addressing hunger and

malnutrition;

– “Told the Conference that access to food is a basic human right that should not be subject to speculation”

– Noting that the hungry and malnourished “asked for dignity, not charity”.

By sharing these reflections with you, I ask that the Almighty, God rich in mercy, bless all those who, with different responsibilities, place themselves at the service of those who experience hunger and who assist them with concrete gestures of closeness. I also pray that the international community might hear the call of this Conference and consider it an expression of the common conscience of humanity: feed the hungry, save life on the planet. Thank you. -- Pope Francis
