I took several pictures, since it is hard to read the memorial.

"No one is so rich that he doesn't need another's help. No one so poor that he is not useful in some way to his fellow man. And the disposition to ask assistance from others with confidence. And to grant it with kindness, is part of our very nature." Pope Leo XII (1901)
