VI. Love For the Poor
2444
“The Church’s love for the poor . . . is a part of her constant
tradition.” This love is inspired by the Gospel of the Beatitudes, of the
poverty of Jesus, and of his concern for the poor.234 Love for the poor
is even one of the motives for the duty of working so as to “be able to
give to those in need.”235 It extends not only to material poverty
but also to the many forms of cultural and religious poverty.236
