Did you know that at the time of his death, Pope Francis’s reported personal wealth was just $100—that’s barely ₦154,000 in today’s exchange rate?

He owned no property, held no personal bank accounts, and had no investments anywhere in the world.

Although he was entitled to an annual salary of about 340,000 euros (approximately $364,000 or ₦560 million at today's exchange rate), he never accepted a cent of it.

As a member of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), Pope Francis took a lifelong vow of poverty—and he remained true to it until the very end of his pontificate.

For the 12 years he served as Pope, he lived in Room 201 of Casa Santa Marta, a simple guesthouse within the Vatican.

Today is Sunday. Look around: what wristwatches are some of your pastors wearing? What cars are they driving into church?

The real wealth of a spiritual leader is not in material possessions, luxury cars, private jets, or designer suits. It is in humility, service, and sacrificial love for humanity.

Pope Francis left behind a powerful legacy:
He showed that true greatness is found not in what you have, but in what you give up for others.

The world doesn't need more celebrity pastors; it needs more humble servants of God.

I agree with this one
