Pope on Christmas: Jesus was poor, so don’t be power-hungryVATICAN CITY (AP) — Recalling Jesus’ birth in a stable, Pope Francis rebuked those “ravenous” for wealth and power at the expense of the vulnerable, including children, in a Christmas Eve homily decrying war, poverty and greedy consumerism.“This Christmas, too, as in the case of Jesus, a world ravenous for money, power and pleasure does not make room for the little ones, for the so many unborn, poor and forgotten children,” the pope said, reading his homily with a voice that sounded tired and almost hoarse.“I think above all of the children devoured by war, poverty and injustice.”Pope's vicar for Rome seeks full truth about Jesuit abuse'Despicable': Slovene bishops condemn Jesuit artist's abusePope warns Vatican staff an 'elegant demon' lurks among themVatican investigator says claims of Jesuit abuse trueStill, the pontiff exhorted people to take heart.“Do not allow yourself to be overcome by fear, resignation or discouragement.” Jesus’ lying in a manger shows where “the true riches in life are to be found: not in money and power, but in relationships and persons.”Remarking on the “so much consumerism that has packaged the mystery” of Christmas, Francis said there was a danger the day’s meaning could be forgotten.“He did not so much talk about poverty as live it, to the very end, for our sake.”Francis urged people to “not let this Christmas pass without doing something good.”When the Mass ended, the pope, pushed in a wheelchair by an aide, moved down the basilica with a life-sized statue of Baby Jesus on his lap and flanked by several children carrying bouquets."
