True wealth is being loved by God

Posted on: Monday 14th October 2024

Happiness is not found in material things but in God himself, who shows us the joy found in making our lives a gift for others, Pope Francis said in his Sunday Angelus address.

“Let us remember this: True wealth is not the goods of this world. True wealth is being loved by God and learning to love like him,” Francis said Oct. 13.

Speaking from the window of the Apostolic Palace, the pope reflected on how many people “carry in [their] hearts an irrepressible need for happiness and for a life full of meaning.”
