Pope Slams 'insatiable Greed' At Christmas Eve Mass by wirinet(m): 1:55pm On Dec 25, 2018

Pope Francis has reminded Christians that their messiah was born in poverty and said they should focus on love and charity instead of "consumerism." The event in St. Peter's Basilica was attended by 10,000 people.
Pope Francis used the Christmas Eve Mass to condemn the pursuit of riches on Monday, and urged Christians to consider Jesus' humble birth story. According to the New Testament, Christ was born in a Bethlehem stable and was then placed in a manger.

Pope Francis reminded Christians that Christ represented Love, Sacrifice, Humility and charity, but will the new prosperity preachers listen.
To them Jesus represents materials things as represented by jets, cars, designer suits, and the elevation of tithes as against charity as a condition for salvation. The worse part is that whichever way wealth is acquired, it's all still a blessing. Poverty is a curse to be broke only by giving of tithes ( to them of course )

The Word of God is Our Instruction, Direction and Discernment.
From it we get Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding. We become Righteous and stop being Selfish and greedy.
Thank you Pope, KpakpanDoN and Nicolas for your Xmas Message. May God grant our Leaders The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to understand These Messages.
