During his Sunday Angelus, Pope Francis encourages the faithful to learn from Jesus' detachment from and indifference to money, power, and superficiality.This is the question Pope Francis called on all faithful to ponder at his Angelus address on Sunday in the Vatican, as he urged them to rid themselves of everything weighing them down from approaching God.
On the contrary, the Pope said, Jesus was preaching and healing the sick with the power of the Holy Spirit - the same Spirit that had"made Him divinely free," that is to say,"capable of loving and serving without measure and without conditions."First, the Pope said, Jesus was free in relation to wealth, and therefore left the security of His village of Nazareth to embrace a poor and uncertain life.
Finally, the Pope said, Jesus was free in relation to the pursuit of fame and approval, and for this reason, Christ never hesitated to speak the truth,"even at the cost of not being understood" and of"becoming unpopular,""even to the point of dying on the Cross."The Lord never allowed Himself to be"intimidated, bought, or corrupted by anything or anyone," the Pope said.
