The Gospel versus the world according to Pope Francis

An interesting paragraph from Pope Francis' Angelus address yesterday, the feast of All Saints

"The Gospel says, 'Blessed are the poor,' while the world says, 'Blessed are the rich.' The Gospel says, 'Blessed are the meek, while the world says, 'Blessed are the bullies.' 
"The Gospel says, 'Blessed are the pure of heart,' while the world says, 'Blessed are the cunning and pleasure-seekers.'"
