On the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, Pope Francis said worship of Christ reveals the true meaning of our journey of life, as it did for the Magi in the Gospel.
“When we do not worship God, we end up worshipping ourselves,” Pope Francis said on Monday in St Peter’s Basilica.
“Worship means concentrating on what is essential,” he said. “In worship, we learn to reject what should not be worshipped: the god of money, the god of consumerism, the god of pleasure, the god of success, the god of self. Worship means bending low before the Most High and discovering in his presence that life’s greatness does not consist in having, but in loving.”
