Christians must choose
between God and money, Pope Francis said in a new tweet
Thursday.
"The Lord put it clearly: you cannot serve two masters. You
have to choose between God and money," he told the faithful via
his @Pontifex Twitter profile, followed by 17 million people in
nine languages.
Also on Thursday the pope reminded Christians to rely on
God even in the darkest hours, including when it is not clear
how He is working.
"God's will has been to save us in history," said Francis
during a homily at the Santa Marta guesthouse in the Vatican
where he lives.
Christian salvation "is not sterile, as in a laboratory.
No! It's history. (God) has walked through history with His
people," he continued.
"And so, step by step, history is made. God makes history,
we make history; and when we fail, God makes adjustments and
sets history back on course, walking with us all the time," the
pope said.
"If this is not clear to us, we will never understand
Christmas! We will never understand the Incarnation of the Word!
Never! It's a story that goes forward in time," he concluded.
