From The Catholic Social Teaching

Option for the Poor and Vulnerable

True worship is to work for justice and care for the poor and oppressed. Isaiah 58:5-7

What you do for the least among you, you do  for Jesus. Matthew 25:34-40 

A  basic moral test is how our most vulnerable members are faring. In a society marred by deepening divisions between rich and poor, our tradition recalls the story of the Last Judgment (Matthew 25:31-46)  and instructs us to put the needs of the poor and vulnerable first.
