"Though we are in tough economic times we Americans live very well. Even the poorest among us live like royalty compared to the poor in many other parts of the world. And we do well, especially in Lent, to recall that our standard of living is partially possible because others work for pennies to produce our many consumer products."
So writes Monsignor Charles Pope in a recent commentary in which he reflected on the need to remember the poor. To access Msgr. Pope's complete reflection, please visit:
