188 To participants in the meeting of the Pontifical Mission Societies (17 May 2013)
3) we all experience our poverty. our weakness in taking the precious treasure of the gospel to the world, but we must constantly repeat st paul��€�™s words: ��€��we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to god and not to us��€� (2 cor 4:7).

199 To the Centesimus Annus Pro Pontifice Foundation (25 May 2013)
2) moreover there is no worse material poverty. i am keen to stress, than the poverty which prevents people from earning their bread and deprives them of the dignity of work.
