Seoul (Fides Service) - "Love for the Poor" is the title of a message issued by Bishop Gabriel Chang Bong-hun, president of the committee for Caritas Korea of the Catholic Bishops' Conference CBCK in view that country's 19th Caritas Sunday on December 15. "Caritas Sunday invites us to turn our eyes to the needy neighbours and practice charity towards them", the Bishop writes and he urges Catholics "to proclaim the Gospel to the poor neighbours first and foremost in a special way". In his message the Bishop says that the mystery of the Incarnation of God who took human flesh and came to live among us, has a deep teaching of poverty "giving everything" : in other words we must live our evangelical freedom and poverty, in order to find ourselves and gain life by giving ourselves generously and sharing what we have with others". The Bishop asked Catholics to "remember that Jesus came to us in the image of a poor man and we must welcome him ib practising charity to all those who suffer". SL (Fides Service 9/12/2002)
