Francisco lamented that “too many people have access to (just) some water and that (which) is possibly polluted”. He encouraged everyone to “reflect on the value of this wonderful, non-substitutive gift from God”, adding that water “is not a commodity of commerce, but a” source of life and health “.
“It is necessary to ensure that everyone has clean water and hygienic services,” said Francis in his traditional address to the faithful at noon on Sunday.
“I thank and encourage everyone who, from various professions and responsibilities, works for such an important goal,” added the pope. In particular, he cited those in his native Argentina, who are working on such water projects.
