Vatican City, Oct 13, 2015 / 03:16 am (CNA).- Pope Francis and his brother Jesuits in Rome have converted an old travel agency building into a new homeless shelter for men, just in time for the cold winter months.

The new dormitory is called “Gift of Mercy,” because mercy is “love’s second name,” Archbishop Konrad Krajewski, the Apostolic Almoner, told Vatican Radio.

He added that the initiative is a response to Pope Francis’ call to the faithful to care for the poor and the homeless.
