"Solidarity is not a feeling of vague compassion or shallow distress at the misfortunes of so many people, both near and far. On the contrary, it is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good; to the good of all and each individual, because we are all really responsible for all."
Pope John Paul II, On Social Concerns, 198 November 12, 1997

“The Good Samaritan parable shows us how a community can be rebuilt by men and women who identify with the vulnerability of others,
who reject the creation of a society of exclusion, and act instead as neighbors, lifting up and rehabilitating the fallen
for the sake of the common good.”
Pope Francis, Fratelli Tutti
