PRESBYTERORUM ORDINIS - 6

This article says that priests should show special concern for the poor, the sick and the dying

But in many parts of the world, even in poor countries, priests tend to gravitate to the rich

In many parts of the world, many priests are not interested in working with the poor.  e.g. as hospital or prison chaplains

DV the leadership and example of Pope Francis will reverse this trend

Jesus, please give priests your love for the poor, the sick and the dying
