Pope for Christmas: Don't be hungry for money and power
Pope Francis

Recalling the birth of Jesus in a stable, Pope Francis criticized those who "plunder" wealth and power at the expense of the vulnerable, including children, during his Christmas Eve sermon. He also spoke of war, poverty, and the great consumption of men.

In the splendor of St. Peter's Basilica, Francis presided over the evening Mass attended by about 7,000 faithful, including tourists and pilgrims.

In his homily, Francis drew lessons from the humility of the first hours of Jesus' life in a manger.

"As animals feed in their stalls, men and women in our world, in their hunger for wealth and power, consume their neighbors, their brothers and sisters. How many wars have we seen! And in how many countries, even today, human dignity and freedom are treated with contempt. As always, the main victims of this human greed are the weak and vulnerable," said Pope Francis, without mentioning any specific conflict or situation.

The Pope urged people to have heart and courage.

"Don't allow yourself to be overcome by fear, resignation or discouragement. The laying of Jesus in a manger shows where the real riches in life will be found: not in money and power, but in relationships and people".

Traditionally, Catholics mark Christmas Eve by attending midnight mass.
