Pope Francis on Following the Example of Jesus

“Christians who buy into Satan’s temptation to live selfishly get swindled, while those who live life as a ‘gift’ to others are immersed in love and the Church community, Pope Francis said. [in a recent homily].


“‘And, we must say, with Satan the payback is rotten. He always rips us off, always!’ the Pope emphasized as he contrasted the kind of selfish living that the devil promotes with the generous way of living Jesus exemplified.

In a recent homily on John 15, Pope Francis compared the way of living one’s life just for him/herself with living life “as a gift to give to others.”
