   working, you can find yourself without healthcare".   
    In this regard, the task of institutions such as INPS is to contribute to   
   ensuring that the funds are not lacking for the subsistence of unemployed   
   workers and their families. "Special attention for female work should not be   
   missing from your priorities; nor should maternity assistance, which should   
   always allow for the protection of a new life and those who serve this on a   
   daily basis. There should be no lack of insurance for old age, sickness, and   
   work-related accidents. The right to a pension must not be neglected, and I   
   underline, the right, as this is what it is".   
    "In the final analysis, working means prolonging God's work in history,   
   contributing in a personal, useful and creative way. Supporting employment, you   
   support this work too. Furthermore, by guaranteeing dignified income to those   
   who have to leave work, you affirm the most profound reality: work must not be   
   another cog in the perverse mechanisms that grinds resources to obtain ever   
   greater profits; it cannot therefore be prolonged or reduced in relation to the   
   earnings of the few or of forms of production that sacrifice values,   
   relationships and principles. This applies to the economy in general ... and   
   also   
   to all the social institution whose subject and aim is and must be the human   
   person".   
    "Do not forget the person: this is imperative", he concluded. "Love and serve   
   the person with awareness, responsibility and willingness. Work for those who   
   work, and not least for those would like to but cannot. Do this not as a work   
   of   
   solidarity but as a duty of justice and subsidiarity. Support the weakest, so   
   that no-one lacks the dignity and freedom to live an authentically human life".
