VATICAN CITY, MARCH 8, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Without charity work, society cannot last long, Benedict XVI says, since even in the most just society, love will always be necessary.
The Pope affirmed this Saturday when he addressed some 7,000 employees and volunteers of Italian civil protection services gathered in Paul VI Hall.
The audience was held exactly 11 months after the April 6 earthquake in Italy's Abruzzo region.
The Holy Father thanked the many "good Samaritans" for the commitment to the victims of that tragedy. Referencing his encyclical "Deus Caritas Est," he also affirmed that "love will always be necessary, even in the most just society."
