Pope Francis says that the Corona-Virus pandemic has shown how much the poor are separated from the society. Poverty is often hidden, he says, but tries to help others, can help us discover ourselves.

coronavirus-a crisis which affects us all, rich and poor alike, and put a spotlight on the hypocrisy. I Am concerned by the hypocrisy of certain political personalities to speak with The Crisis , The Problem of hunger in The World , but who, in the meantime, the production of weapons.

This is converted to a time to of this type of functional hypocrisy. It is a time for integrity. Either We Are in harmony with our faith, or we lose everything.

Every crisis contains both danger and opportunity. Today, I think, we need to understand to slow down our speed of production and consumption, and to learn, and contemplate the Natural World . We need to get back in touch with our real environment. This is the opportunity for conversion.

I can already see the first signs of an economy, the more people. But let us not lose our memory as soon as all this is over, let us file it and you go Back To where we were. This is The Time , the decisive step is to consider the use and abuse of nature. We have lost the contemplative dimension of our lives; we have to get to it.

And speaking of contemplation, I would like to dwell on a point.

This is The Moment to see the poor. Jesus says that we have the poor always With Us , and it is true. They are a reality that we cannot deny. But the arms are hidden, because the poverty is shy.

In Rome recently, in the middle of the quarantine, a police officer said to A Man : "you can't be on the road to Go Home . "The answer was: "I have no Home . I live in The Street . "

There are such a large number of people on the margins of society. And we can't see them, because the poverty is shy. You are part of the landscape; they are things.

Mother Teresa saw them and had the courage to embark on A Journey of transformation. To "see" the poor will mean the restoration of their humanity. They are not things, not garbage; they are people.

We can not policy for a social, we for the rescued animals. this is how the poor are often treated.

I will dare to offer some advice. This is The Time to the U-Bahn. I think of Dostoevsky's short novel, notes from The Underground .

the staff of The prison hospital had become so used to it treats its poor prisoners, like the things. And The Way you dealt with to see who has died, the says on The Bed next to them: "Enough! He, too, had A Mother !"

We must say this often: the poor man had A Mother , who raised him, lovingly. Later in life, we don't know What Happened . But it helps to think that the love that he received once by His Mother , hope.

We disempower the poor. We Are not to dream of you The Right their mothers. You don't know what love is; many of them live on drugs. And to see, you can help us to discover the piety, which points towards God and our neighbors.

you Go down into the subway, and from the hyper-virtual, fleshless world, The Suffering meat of the poor. This is the conversion we have to. And if we don't start here, then There will be no conversion.

The Pope, the contribution was made available by The Vatican and is part of a longer interview that he gave to his biographer, Austen Ivereigh .

BBC Radio 4 , Radio 5 Live and The World Service coming together for a unique collaboration: the BBC Reconsider. It asks how to change society and our lives for the better, after the Covid-19 crisis.
