Pope Francis has warned against the temptations of “money, vanity, and idle chatter” that he said have divided believers since the early days of Christianity.

Reflecting on the first reading during Mass at Casa Santa Marta on April 21, the pontiff cited the harmony among first Christian communities.

He said the description in the reading was no fantasy but a model for today’s Church.

“It is true that immediately after this problems will begin,” said the pontiff. “But the Lord shows us how far we can go if we are open to the Holy Spirit, if we are docile,” he added.

Pope Francis noted that many things divided parishes, dioceses, communities of priests, and men and women religious, including the temptations of money, vanity, and idle chatter.
