"One person who dies is not news, but it is a tragedy if the Stock Exchanges lose ten points! This is how people are discarded, as if they were waste." So Francis Pope reaffirmed the value of the lives of the poor.
In this spirit, the Community of Sant'Egidio in Lima, Peru, celebrated a liturgy to remember Eva’s death, a homeless poor woman who lived not far from the Government building in the city center and died alone at 74.
The liturgy was attended by many poor as well as by the homeless friends of the Community.
