Catholic priests in the city of Bangkok responded to the call of Pope Francis to go to the “peripheries” and be with the most vulnerable, especially during the pandemic.
Monsignor Andrew Vissanu Thanya-anan, deputy secretary general of Thailand’s Catholic bishops’ conference, and Father Pairat Sriprasert, head of Caritas Thailand, this week brought food to families most affected by the pandemic.
“I follow the instruction on ‘Come and See’ of Pope Francis,” said Monsignor Thanya-anan.
“When you come and see with your own eyes, you will feel that it is urgent to do something for them who are suffering,” he added.
“Come and See” is the theme for the 55th World Day of Social Communications in May this year.
In his message during the occasion, Pope Francis urged everyone to reach out to people “as they are and where they live.”
