Vatican City, 25 March 2015 (VIS) –
At the end of today's general audience, the Pope greeted those
present in various languages. In Italian he addressed a group of
workers from the province of Vibo Valentia, in the Calabria region,
which is currently experiencing a situation of economic crisis.
“I express my concern and closeness
to your persistent problems. I make a heartfelt appeal that the logic
of profit may not prevail over that of solidarity and justice. At the
centre of every issue, especially in relation to work, there must
always be the human person and his or her dignity. Being unable to
bring bread to the table means losing one's dignity. This is the
crisis of our time, especially for the young who, without work, have
no prospects for the future and may become easy prey to criminal
organisations”.
