It was established by Pope Francis in his Apos- tolic Letter, Misericordia et Misera, issued on November 20, 2016, to celebrate the end of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. The World Day of the Poor was first observed on November 19, 2017, with the theme, “Let us love, not with words but with deeds.” In his message for that first World Day of the Poor, Pope Francis said that “the Our Father is the prayer of the poor.” He held a special Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, followed by a free lunch in the adjacent Paul VI Hall, in several Catholic colleges, and in other Vatican ven- ues. During the week preceding the World Day of the Poor, free specialized medical services were offered at a mobile clinic. The day was also observed in other countries, includ- ing India, Poland, and Canada, with special Masses, free meals for the poor, and other initiatives. In India, the Archbishop of Bombay, Cardinal Os- wald Gracias, launched an “ACTS” (Actively Called to Serve) project, which involved distributing bags to parishes, in which people could donate food (e.g., grain or sugar) and toiletries for the poor. Cardinal Gracias said that “Our Lord gave us the striking example of simplicity and poverty in His own life.
