Praising the Lord and passing the alms, man has fought poverty for more than 5,000 years-but until recently without any real expectation that the fight could ever be won. Hinduism and Buddhism encouraged almsgiving but reconciled themselves to poverty by suggesting that it is a requisite for man's prime goal: the enrichment of spirit instead of body. The Hebrews equated poverty with suffering, extolled charity as one of the greatest virtues, and declared, in Proverbs, that "He who mocks the poor insults his Maker." Christ's most famous pronouncement on the problem-"For you always...
...sense of pleasure and relief," said outgoing U.N. General Assembly President Alex Quaison-Sackey, resplendent in a Ghanaian toga of orange and gold, "that I welcome all representatives present."

As the chill autumnal dusk darkened the Roman sky, a priest began to chant the ancient litany; from the throats of thousands of cardinals, bishops, priests and laymen came back the droning, prayerful response: "Pardon us, O Lord." At the rear of the procession, beneath a scarlet and gold baldacchino, walked Pope Paul VI dressed in red cope and carrying a crucifix in which were inlaid three tiny relics of the cross on which Christ died...
