The World Day of the Poor had many highlights. One of them was the Pope's personal gesture to a man in need.
Last week Pope Francis had received a pair of new shoes, size 42, and decided to donate them to the Vatican office in charge of charity: the papal alms office. This office gave them to Giuseppe, who has been living on the street for years. This was confirmed by the cardinal in charge of this department.
A luncheon for the needy was held on Sunday. The Pope shared the meal with 1300 guests without resources.
