Private Audience of His Holiness Pope Francis with the members of the European Food Banks Federation.
Your experiences, even recent ones, take us back to the roots of solidarity in Europe; for they seek unity within concrete goodness. It is good to see languages, beliefs, traditions and different approaches converging, not for self-interest, but rather to give dignity to others.
Giving food is never a gesture of disdain or even a degradation of human dignity. It is a gesture of solidarity, of concern, of fellowship and friendship which makes possible a more loving, more profound and more human relationship.
