Quote

Since many of you do not belong to the Catholic Church and others are non-believers, from the bottom of my heart I give this silent blessing to each and every one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you but knowing that each one of you is a child of God.

Pope Francis

More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
These are roots of all evil, hatred and greed, for money, for the construction and for the sale of weapons. This should make us all think, who is behind it all?
Pope Francis
Image
If I'm not mistaken, Sigmund Freud said that in every idealisation there's an aggression. Depicting the Pope as a sort of Superman, a star, is offensive to me. The pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps calmly and has friends like everyone else. A normal person.
Pope Francis
Image
This generation, and many others, have been led to believe that the devil is a myth, a figure, an idea, the idea of evil... But the devil exists and we must fight against him.
Pope Francis
Image
The crucifix does not signify defeat or failure. It reveals to us the Love that overcomes evil and sin.
Pope Francis
Image
Wars are always madness: all is lost in war, all is to be gained in peace.
Pope Francis

Today one can read the Gospel also on so many technological instruments. You can carry the whole Bible on your mobile phone, on your tablet. It is important to read the Word of God, by any means, but by reading the Word of God: Jesus speaks to us there! And welcome it with an open heart. Then the good seed will bear fruit!
Pope Francis
Image
Do not be afraid to go and to bring Christ into every area of life, to the fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest away, most indifferent.
Pope Francis
Image
Only those who serve with love are able to protect!
Pope Francis
Image
It seems that humanity is incapable of putting a halt to the shedding of innocent blood.
Pope Francis
Image
When Jesus stepped into the waters of the Jordan and was baptized by John the Baptist, he did so not because he was in need of repentance, or conversion: he did it to be among people who need forgiveness, among us sinners, and to take upon himself the burden of our sins.
Pope Francis
Image
God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.
Pope Francis
Image
Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is Good.
Pope Francis
Image
Let's pray for whole world that there be brotherhood. I hope this journey of the church we begin today is fruitful for evangelization.
Pope Francis
Image
A society which abandons children and the elderly severs its roots and darkens its future.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one's life.
Pope Francis
Image
We need to proclaim the Gospel on every street corner, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing, even with our preaching, every kind of disease and wound.
Pope Francis
Image
How powerful prayer is! May we never lose the courage to say: Lord, give us your peace.
Pope Francis
Image
At stake are the lives of many children who will be discriminated against in advance, and deprived of their human development given by a father and a mother and willed by God. At stake is the total rejection of God’s law engraved in our hearts.
Pope Francis
Image
A Christian is one who is invited... to join in the feast, to the joy of being saved, to the joy of being redeemed, to the joy of sharing life with Christ. This is a joy! You are called to a party!
Pope Francis
Image
To be a mother is a great treasure. Mothers, in their unconditional and sacrificial love for their children, are the antidote to individualism they are the greatest enemies against war.
