During the month of January, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops invites us to focus on the fact of poverty in our society, and the accompanying fact that its eradication is well within our reach. During Poverty Awareness Month the USCCB and the Catholic Campaign for Human Development offers us daily resources to understand the pervasive and shocking facts of poverty in the United States. Learning about the startling inequalities that define the lives of millions of American stirs in our hearts compassion for those who suffer, but we are called to go deeper. In fact, the realization of the truth of rampant poverty in the US, the world’s richest country, should foster not only compassion, but anger. It is appropriate to be angry at this status quo. From that compassion and anger, we as the Body of Christ alive in the world can move to act together to end poverty. Discover more: organizingcatholicsforjustice.org/
