At the Sunday Angelus, Pope Francis explains the Lord’s words on how true power and greatness do not lie in the dominion of the strongest, but in care for the weakest.
Greeting the crowds in St. Peter’s Square for the midday Angelus on Sunday, Pope Francis recalled how the Gospel in today’s liturgy tells us about the time when Jesus announces to his disciples that He will suffer, be handed over to men and killed, and rise three days after His death. But the disciples do not understand what the Lord means and are more concerned about who is the “greatest” in their discussions among themselves.
“And yet Jesus responds openly to the conversations whispered along the way: “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” Do you want to be great? Make yourself small, put yourself at the service of all.”The Pope emphasized how “Jesus renews our way of living” and teaches us that true power is not about domination by the strongest, but “care for the weakest.
“How many people suffer and die for power struggles! Theirs are lives that the world denies, as it denied Jesus…However, the Gospel remains living and filled with hope: He who has denied is risen, He is the Lord!” In conclusion, the Pope recommended we ask ourselves if we know how to see Jesus in those around us, especially the least and smallest. Do we take care of our neighbours, and do we thank those who have helped us?
