Fasting makes sense if it really chips away at our security and, as a consequence, benefits someone else, if it helps us cultivate the style of the good Samaritan, who bent down to his brother in need and took care of him.
Pope Francis
Image
We are impatient, anxious to see the whole picture, but God lets us see things slowly, quietly.
Pope Francis
Image
Imagine, to become a priest there are eight years of study and preparation, and then if after a while you can't do it, you can ask for a dispensation, you leave, and everything is OK.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us go back to the Lord. The Lord never tires of forgiving: never! It is we who tire of asking his forgiveness. Let us ask for the grace not to tire of asking forgiveness, because he never tires of forgiving.
Pope Francis

Wretched are those who are vindictive and spiteful.
Pope Francis

Anyone who wants to be pope doesn't care much for themselves, God doesn't bless them. I didn't want to be pope.
Pope Francis
Image
Why are deadly weapons being sold to those who plan to inflict untold suffering on individuals and society? Sadly, the answer, as we all know, is simply for money: money that is drenched in blood, often innocent blood. In the face of this shameful and culpable silence, it is our duty to confront the problem and to stop the arms trade.
Pope Francis
Image
When a society lacks God, even prosperity is joined by a terrible spiritual poverty.
Pope Francis
Image
On climate change, there is a clear, definitive and ineluctable ethical imperative to act.
Pope Francis
Image
We can inspire others through witness so that one grows together in communicating. BUt the worst thing of all is religious proselytism, which paralyses: 'I am talking with you in order to persuade you.' No. Each person dialogues, starting with his and her own identity. The church grows by attracting, not proselytizing.
