Vatican City, 23 April 2014 (VIS) –
Following today's general audience, the Holy Father launched an
appeal for the workers of the Lucchini steelworks in Piombino, which
closed down a few days ago causing mass layoffs. Pope Francis urged
them not to despair, remarking that “when human hopes are
extinguished, the divine hope that never disappoints always remains
alive”. He appealed to those in positions of responsibility to use
all their creativity and generosity “to reignite hope in the hearts
of our brothers and sisters and in the hearts of all those who have
been left jobless as a result of waste and the economic crisis.
Please, open your eyes and don’t stand there with your arms
crossed!”
