Your answer was: World Day of the Poor. |
Answer: The World Day of the Poor is a Roman Catholic observance, celebrated on the 33rd Sunday of Ordinary Time (date varies each year in November) since 2017. It was established by Pope Francis in his Apostolic Letter, Misericordia et Misera, issued on 20 November 2016 to celebrate the end of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. The day is also observed in other countries, including India, Poland, and Canada, with special Masses, free meals for the poor, and other initiatives. The World Day of the Poor was first observed on 19 November 2017, with the theme, "Let us love, not with words but with deeds". In his message for that first World Day of the Poor, Pope Francis said that "the Our Father is the prayer of the poor". He held a special Mass in St Peter’s Basilica, followed by a free lunch in the adjacent Paul VI Hall, in several Catholic colleges, and in other Vatican venues. During the week preceding the World Day of the Poor, free specialized medical services were offered at a mobile clinic.
