(Vatican Radio) Saying Jesus' path is serving
others, Pope Francis urged Christians on Tuesday to overcome the lure
of worldliness and human ambition and warned against social climbers who
are tempted to destroy the other in order to reach the top. His remarks
came during his homily at the morning Mass celebrated in the Santa
Marta residence.
The gospel reading where Jesus’ disciples were arguing among themselves over who was the greatest was used by the Pope for his reflections about the dangers of power, money, ambition and vanity. He noted that whereas Jesus was warning his disciples about his coming humiliation and death, they were concerned with worldly matters such as who would become the most powerful among them.
