Vatican City - Migrants are human beings who symbolise all those rejected by globalisation, Pope Francis told a special mass on Monday, saying"the weakest and most vulnerable must be helped".
It is these most vulnerable people who"are abandoned and cheated into dying in the desert," he told the mass to mark the sixth anniversary of a visit to Lampedusa, where many asylum seekers arrive after a perilous sea journey from Libya. "Migrants are first of all human persons and... they are the symbol of all those rejected by today’s globalised society," the pope said.
