Pope Gredory was a great supported of the poor. In His way we need to do the same. The church teaches us to care for the poor and do what ever we can to help the less fortunate. When we help the poor that doesnt always mean the poor in physical stuff. It also means we need to help out the poor in spirit and the poor in faith. If someone is feeling down we should show compassion and help out. If someone has lost faith we should get them to a church and let them regain their faith. Pope Gregory was a great example of a man that did all he could to help out the less fortunate, but you don't have to be a Pope to do good in the world. You just have to go out and if u see someone in need put them in front of yourself.

We all need to follow in Pope Gregory's foot steps and care for the poor as much as he did.
I like how you put a lot of importance on what Pope Gregory did. You really emphasized his work.
You made a good point in saying that we need to help the less fortunate in more ways than just physical, we need to cater to their needs on all levels.
Daniel emphasized that you don't have to be important to be able to help those in need. Any of us, regardless of our age or financial state, can help a person in need.
i really liked how u brougt up the point of the spiritually poor very interesting way of looking at it
The injection of the spiritual poorness was a good leap. Good work! There probably more spiirituallly bankrupt people lost in the world as there are financially bankrupt. You didn't address the main question as to what your reactions were to Pope Gregory's statement, "When we attend to the needs of those in want, we give them what is theirs, not ours. More than performing works of mercy, we are paying a debt to justice."
I like how you said you dont have to be a Pope to step out and help others and make a difference in the world.
It was really important that you ephasized the importance of helping the poor and the vulnerable. You did that really well.
