Image
You can't govern without loving the people and without humility!
Pope Francis
Image
Consumerism has led us to become used to an excess and daily waste of food, to which, at times, we are no longer able to give a just value, which goes well beyond mere economic parameters. We should all remember, however, that throwing food away is like stealing from the tables of the the poor, the hungry!
Pope Francis
Image
Our Lady is always close to us, especially when we feel the weight of life with all its problems
Pope Francis
Image
I think we too are the people who, on the one hand, want to listen to Jesus, but on the other hand, at times, like to find a stick to beat others with, to condemn others. And Jesus has this message for us: mercy. I think - and I say it with humility - that this is the Lord's most powerful message: mercy.
Pope Francis

If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?
Pope Francis
Image
It might be better - more comfortable - to have a dog and two cats. All the love is focused on the cats and the dog. Am I right or wrong here? Have you seen it? At the end of this marriage, comes old age and loneliness.
Pope Francis
Image
The Church is or should go back to being a community of God's people, and priests, pastors and bishops, who have the care of souls, are at the service of the people of God.
Pope Francis
Image
Obsession with a consumerist lifestyle, above all when few people are capable of maintaining it, can only lead to violence and mutual destruction.
Pope Francis
Image
There is no such thing as low-cost Christianity. Following Jesus means swimming against the tide, renouncing evil and selfishness
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
To live as true children of God means to love our neighbour and to be close to those who are lonely and in difficulty
Pope Francis
Image
Yet only when we come to understand, in the light of the Cross, the evil we are capable of, and have even been a part of, can we experience true remorse and true repentance.
Pope Francis
Image
Trust in the power of Christ’s Cross! Receive his reconciling grace and share it!
Pope Francis
Image
We have to work harder to develop a profound theology of women within the church. The feminine genius is needed wherever we make important decisions.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus fought Satan in 'hand to hand combat' . . . 'you need to protect this victory.'
Pope Francis
Image
There is nothing the Church can do except try to educate people to become good consumers.
Pope Francis
Image
This is Christian hope, that the future is in God's hands.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us never yield to pessimism, to that bitterness that the devil offers us every day.
Pope Francis
Image
You have a specific and important mission, that of keeping alive the relationship between the faith and the cultures of the peoples to whom you belong. . . . [W]e have to follow Christ along the concrete path of our daily lives so that he can transform us.
Pope Francis
Image
Idolatry, then, is always polytheism, an aimless passing from one lord to another. Idolatry does not offer a journey but rather a plethora of paths leading nowhere and forming a vast labyrinth.
Pope Francis
