Francis, in which the Holy Father encouraged them to ‘create a new economy

for the common good that includes everyone and humanises.’ In this regard,

he stressed the importance of committing to a ‘new agreement to reform the

world economic system, with the aim of improving people's lives by seeking an

economy of the Gospel, at the service of the people, of life and of the family’.
