More quotes by Pope Francis
I like it when someone tells me: 'I don't agree.' This is a true collaborator. When they say 'Oh, how great, how great, how great,' that's not useful.
Pope Francis
Your sins are great? Just tell the Lord: Forgive me, help me to get up again, change my heart!
Pope Francis
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
Dear young people, pray with me for peace in the world.
Pope Francis
We need to avoid the spiritual sickness of a church that is wrapped up in its own world: when a church becomes like this, it grows sick.
Pope Francis
Every Catholic parliamentarian must vote according their well-formed conscience. I would say just this. I believe it is sufficient because - I say well-formed because it is not the conscience of 'what seems to me.'
Pope Francis
Let us pray for peace, and let us bring it about, starting in our own homes.
Pope Francis
While new rights are attributed to or indeed almost presumed by the individual, life is not always protected as the primary value and the primordial right of every human being. The ultimate aim of medicine remains the defence and promotion of life.
Pope Francis
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
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
Every Christian is a missionary to the extent that he or she bears witness to God’s love. Be missionaries of God’s tenderness!
Pope Francis
Let us never forget that it is the Lord who guides the Church. He is the one who makes our apostolates fruitful.
Pope Francis
Dearest brothers and sisters who are so persecuted, I know how much you suffer, I know that you are stripped of everything. I am with you in the faith of the one who has conquered evil!
Pope Francis
Help one another: this is what Jesus teaches us and this what I am doing, and doing with all my heart.
Pope Francis
Lent is a good time for sacrificing. Let us deny ourselves something every day to help others.
Pope Francis
The key that opens the door to the faith is prayer.
Pope Francis
It is now, more than ever, necessary that political leaders be outstanding for honesty, integrity and commitment to the common good. Thus will they be able to marshal the moral resources needed to face the demands of the present, and to pass on to coming generations a society of authentic justice, solidarity and peace.
Pope Francis
Before God and his people I express my sorrow for the sins and grave crimes of clerical sexual abuse committed against you. And I humbly ask forgiveness.
Pope Francis
The great challenge facing us today is to learn once again how to talk to one another, not simply how to generate and consume information.
Pope Francis
Our faith in Christ, who became poor, and was always close to the poor and the outcast, is the basis of our concern for the integral development of society’s most neglected members.
