(ANSA) - Czestochowa, July 28 - Pope Francis, in a Mass on Thursday marking the 1050th anniversary of Poland's baptism, encouraged the faithful to turn away from the temptations of power and instead seek refuge in daily tasks and giving to others.
    "Being attracted by power, by largeness and by visibility is tragically human, and it's a big temptation that tries to insinuate itself everywhere," Pope Francis said, in his homily during Mass at the Jasna Gora Monastery.
    "Giving oneself to others, bridging the distances, dwelling in smallness and concretely living everyday life, this is exquisitely divine".
    The pope is in Poland for World Youth Day in Krakow.
