"The Church is God's family in the world. In this family no one ought to go without the necessities of life… The parable of the Good Samaritan remains as a standard which imposes universal love towards the needy whom we encounter “by chance”, whoever they may be. -Pope Benedict XVI, Deus Caritas Est 25  Diocese of London: Being a Mission-Oriented Church that Forms Disciples of Jesus
