Pope Francis to business students If you worship money, you’ll

become a slave

Ary Waldir Ramos Diaz | Oct 20, 2017

Says that despite the expectation to seek success at all costs, they should take time for fraternity.

“I t is essential that from now on and in your future professional life you learn to be free from the ‘lure of money,’” Pope Francis told 80 Catholic students of

the Institution des Chartreux de Lyon, France, on Thursday. The institute educates financial and economic leaders who are preparing to enter prestigious business schools. They are in Rome for a period of cultural experience.

The pope spoke to them about “the slavery into which money shuts those who worshi it.”

He encouraged the group of future entrepreneurs to cultivate the “strength and courage not to blindly obey the invisible hand of the market.”

He told the young people present that they were called to build a “more just and humane society.”

Contrary to individualism, according to which they would use their work and talent strictly for their own benefit, Pope Francis invited them to follow a different path.

He encouraged the students who are Christians “to remain always joined to Christ in prayer, to learn to entrust everything to God, and in this way you will not succumb to the temptation of discouragement or desperation.”

“Never forget, in his gaze on others and on yourselves, ‘man infinitely transcends man,'” said Pope Francis to those who are not Christians, quoting Blaise Pascal.

In conclusion, he encouraged them to “work for good, to become humbly the seed of a new world.”
