Jesus Christ “underwent the dramatic experience of the refugee”
18th January 2010: Pope Benedict XVI has called for protection of underage migrants and refugees. In his speech to mark the World Day of Migrants and Refugees, he said "Particular care must be taken to ensure that minors who find themselves living in a foreign country are ensured legal guarantees." The minors, the Pope said, should be “accompanied in the innumerable problems they have to face." He encouraged the communities and organisations that dedicate themselves to looking after children, and encouraged everyone "to show educational and cultural sensitivity when dealing with them, in keeping with the true evangelical spirit." "Jesus Christ who as a newborn, because of Herod's threats, underwent the dramatic experience of the refugee, taught His disciples to welcome children with great respect and love", the Pope said.
