Pope: The greatest glory is God, everything else fades away
2015-11-13 (Vatican Radio)
Pope Francis said God is the greatest glory and warned believers against the temptation to deify earthly things and even to
idolize our habits. Instead, he said, we should be looking beyond these things to the transcendent, to God the creator,
whose glory never fades. The Pope’s words came during his homily at his Mass on Friday (13th November) celebrated at
the Santa Marta residence.
Pope Francis reflected in his homily on God’s eternal glory and said there are two dangers that undermine believers: the
temptation to deify our earthly things and even to idolize our habits, as if all this were lasting forever. Instead, he said, God
is the greatest glory and this is made clear in the psalms where we read how “The heavens declare the Glory of God.” The
problem, said the Pope, is that humans often bow down before things whose splendour is only a reflection that will be extinguished one day - or worse still they become devoted to even more fleeting pleasures.
Attached to the beauty of the here and now
Pope Francis warned about the “error” of many people who, he said, are incapable of looking beyond the beauty of earthly
things towards the transcendent, describing this attitude as the idolatry of immanence.
“They are attached to this idolatry: they are astonished by the power and energy (of these things). They haven’t thought
about how much greater is their sovereign because He created them, He who is the origin and the author of this beauty. It’s
an idolatry to gaze at all these beautiful things without believing that they will fade away. And the fading too has its beauty… And this idolatry of being attached to the beauty of the here and now, without (a sense of) the transcendence, we all
run the risk of having that. It’s the idolatry of immanence. We believe that these things are almost gods and they will last
forever. We forget about that fading away.”
The other trap or idolatry into which many people fall, warned the Pope, is that of our daily habits which make our hearts
deaf. He said Jesus illustrated this when he described the men and woman during the time of Noah or Sodom who ate and
drank and got married without caring about anything else until the flood came or the Lord rained down burning sulphur.
“Everything is according to habit. Life is like that: We live in this way, without thinking about the end of this way of living.
This too is an idolatry: to be attached to our habits, without thinking that this will come to an end. But the Church makes us
look at the end of these things. Even our habits can be thought of as gods. The idolatry? Life is like this and we go forward in
this way… And just as this beauty will finish in another (kind of) beauty, our habits will finish in an eternity, in another
(kind of) habit. But there is God!”
Look at the glory that doesn’t fade
Pope Francis went on to urge his listeners to direct their gaze always beyond towards the one God who is beyond “the end
of created things” so as not to repeat the fatal error of looking back, as Lot’s wife did. We must be certain, he stressed, that if
life is beautiful then its end will be just as beautiful as well.
“We believers are not people who look back, who yield, but people who always go forward.” We must always go forward
in this life, looking at the beautiful things and with the habits that we all have but without deifying them. They will end. Be
they these small beauties, which reflect a bigger beauty, our own habits for surviving in the eternal song, contemplating the
glory of God.”

Omnipotent and eternal God, the everlasting Salvation of
those who believe, hear us on behalf of Thy sick servant,

with his bodily health restored, he may give thanks to
Thee in Thy church. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and may perpetual
light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

F IRST S UNDAY
OF
A DVENT
Grant your faithful, we pray, almighty God,
the resolve to run forth
to meet your Christ with righteous deeds
at his coming, so that,
gathered at his right hand,
they may be worthy
to possess the heavenly Kingdom.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
“Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness
and the anxieties of daily life” (Luke 21).
