*HE OWN EVERYTHING BY OWNING NOTHING!*
Some reports indicate that Pope Francis died, leaving only 100 dollars.
Yes, a hundred dollars. Less than 90 euros.
No house.
No bank account.
There is no investment in his name.
And yet, he was the head of the Catholic Church.
A post that could have earned him about €340,000 a year.
But he refused that money.
Every year.
Since 2013.
*Why?*
Because he was a Jesuit, and the Jesuits take a vow of poverty.
Rather than living in the luxurious Vatican apartments like his predecessors, he chose to move into the Casa Santa Marta, a simple, modest residence.
No gilding.
No personal servants.
Just a bed, a desk, and his faith.
He wore his old worn-out black shoes, refusing traditional red moccasins.
He was moving in a small Ford Focus, while other religious leaders were driving in limousines.
He ate with the Vatican employees, not in a private dining room.
He simply dressed, without special adornment, just his white outfit and an iron cross.
*An invisible wealth...!*
While some cling to their property, their property, their image...
Pope Francis has chosen to own nothing to offer everything.
*No millions.*
*No complex wills.*
*It's just 100 dollars... and a powerful message:*
"It's not what you own that matters. That's what you are. What you do for others."
The world is shocked... but inspired.
At a time when wealth often becomes an ultimate goal, Pope Francis leaves an eternal trace without ever having sought to enrich himself.
He did not bequeath any material fortune.
He left a moral fortune. A lesson in humility. A vision of service.
*He wasn't a luxury pope.*
He was a pope of heart.
A man who has proved that to live simply is to reign differently.
*"What about you? What will you leave behind?*
*Money?*
*Things? Or a real inspiration?*
