Pope Francis presides at the Canonization Mass for 14 new Saints, including 11 martyrs killed in Syria for refusing to renounce their faith, and upholds their Christian witness by noting they lived Jesus’ way of service.
The Pope noted that their witness invites Christians to heed Jesus’ invitation to serve, not to seek glory.Taking his cue from the Gospel passage from Mark, he invited Christians to contemplate the profound questions Jesus asked His disciples, James and John:"What is it you want me to do for you?" and"Are you able to drink the cup that I drink?" These questions, noted Pope Francis, shine light on our hidden desires and cast away any illusions of self-interest.
They longed for a place at His right and left in His glory, imagining a victorious Messiah who would reign with might. But, the Pope continued, their understanding was flawed. "On His right and left, there would be no thrones, but two thieves, crucified alongside Him, suffering and dying with Him in ignominy."
