14. Jesus draws to the poor and is present among them,

so says Bishop Gumbleton in his Peace Pulpit in
www.nationalcatholicreporter.org

"Jesus draws the poor and is present among them. They're the ones who really seem to understand him and follow him readily, and he reaches out to them. We have developed in our theology what we call a preferential option for the poor and that's because that was Jesus' preference ... the poor, the rejected, the marginalized, the sinner. They flocked to him."
