This Solidarity

Calendar
introduces your
family to the work
of Development and
Peace partners in
Asia, Africa, Latin
America and the
Middle East.
Throughout his ministry
Jesus felt compassion when
faced by human suffering.
Today, we are called to feel this
same depth of compassion when
we think of the people of Asia,
Africa, Latin America and the
Middle East, many of whom suffer
from an overwhelming number of
crises and injustices.
Development and Peace is part of the
many struggles of people in the
Global South for justice. Their work,
and ours, is guided by compassion.
Through your generous donations,
you help build a world of justice.

“Compassion means ‘to suffer with’ and it therefore goes hand-in-hand

with the core value of solidarity - that sense of responsibility we feel for
others by virtue of our interdependence as members of one human family.”
Give Generously Lesley-Anne Knigh t, Secretary General, Caritas Internationalis.
