Love, overflowing with small gestures of mutual care, is also civic and political, and it makes itself felt in every action that seeks to build a better world. Love for society and commitment to the common good are outstanding expressions of a charity which affects not only relationships between individuals, but also “macro-relationships, social, economic and political ones.” …social love is the key to authentic development.
- Laudato Si’: Encyclical Letter of The Holy Father Francis
