More quotes by Pope Francis
So many of you have lost everything. I do not know what to tell you. But surely he knows what to tell you! So many of you have lost members of your family. I can only be silent I accompany you silently, with my heart...
Pope Francis
God is not afraid of new things.
Pope Francis
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
I made reference continuously to the killings, the death, the life taken by all of these narcotrafficking gangs and human smugglers. I spoke of this problem as one of the wounds that Mexico suffers. It's a great pain that I'm taking, because this nation [Mexicans] doesn't deserve a drama like this one.
Pope Francis
If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge him? The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains this very well. It says they should not be marginalized because of this (orientation) but that they must be integrated into society. The problem is not having this orientation. We must be brothers.
Pope Francis
We are all jars of clay, fragile and poor, yet we carry within us an immense treasure.
Pope Francis
God’s love is free. He asks for nothing in return all he wants is for his love to be accepted.
Pope Francis
Every threat to the family is a threat to society itself.
Pope Francis
Do not be afraid to cast yourselves into the arms of God whatever he asks of you, he will repay a hundredfold.
Pope Francis
Let us not have a computer psychology that makes us think we know it all. All answers on computers - but no surprises. The challenge of love. God reveals himself through surprises.
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
Today Saint Paul has told us that in Christ we have become God’s adopted children, brothers and sisters in Christ. This is who we are. This is our identity.
Pope Francis
How many innocent people and children suffer in the world! Lord, grant us your peace!
Pope Francis
Young people are just as attracted to the truth as they are convenience and expediency.
Pope Francis
Negative feelings choke the Lord’s word in us.
Pope Francis
In a very real way, the poor are our teachers. They show us that people’s value is not measured by their possessions or how much money they have in the bank. A poor person, a person lacking material possessions, always maintains his or her dignity. The poor can teach us much about humility and trust in God.
Pope Francis
I know married Catholics in a second union who go to church, who go to church once or twice a year and say I want communion, as if joining in Communion were an award. It's a work towards integration, all doors are open, but we cannot say, 'from here on they can have communion.'
Pope Francis
The people of America, are not fearful of foreigners, because most of us were once foreigners.
Pope Francis
Lord, teach us to step outside ourselves. Teach us to go out into the streets and manifest your love.
Pope Francis
The cry of a baby is God's voice: never drive them away from the church!
Pope Francis
