More quotes by Pope Francis
The secret of Christian living is love. Only love fills the empty spaces caused by evil.
Pope Francis
To understand one another, and to grow in charity and truth, we need to pause, to accept and listen to one another. In this way we already begin to experience unity. Unity grows along the way, it never stands still. Unity happens when we walk together.
Pope Francis
There are some things we really need to take care of: the children, and grandparents. Children, whether they are young or older, they are the strength that moves us forward. We place our hope in them.Grandparents are the living memory of the family. They passed on the faith, they transmitted the faith, to us.
Pope Francis
How many young people among you are like this? You know how to give and yet you have ever learned how to receive. You still lack one thing. Become a beggar. This is what you still lack. Learn how to beg. This isn’t easy to understand. To learn how to beg. To learn how to receive with humility.
Pope Francis
We are impatient, anxious to see the whole picture, but God lets us see things slowly, quietly.
Pope Francis
The love of God is not something vague or generic the love of God has a name and a face: Jesus Christ.
Pope Francis
The times talk to us of so much poverty in the world and this is a scandal. Poverty in the world is a scandal. In a world where there is so much wealth, so many resources to feed everyone, it is unfathomable that there are so many hungry children, that there are so many children without an education, so many poor persons. Poverty today is a cry.
Pope Francis
Maybe it's a little crazy, but it's good to have it, but I just don't like [prizes or honors].
Pope Francis
Unrestrained liberalism only makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker and excludes the most excluded.
Pope Francis
The one thing that the Catholic Church desires, and that I seek as Bishop of Rome, “the Church which presides in charity”, is communion with the Orthodox Churches.
Pope Francis
I already knew about this friendship between St. John Paul II and this philosopher [Ana Teresa Tymieniecka] when I was in Buenos Aires. It was known. Also her books are known.
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
Being a Christian is not just about following commandments: it is about letting Christ take possession of our lives and transform them.
Pope Francis
The Lord never tires of forgiving. It is we who tire of asking for forgiveness.
Pope Francis
In the face of so many wounds that hurt us and could lead to a hardness of heart, we are called to dive into the sea of prayer, which is the sea of the boundless love of God, in order to experience his tenderness
Pope Francis
I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess.
Pope Francis
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.
Pope Francis
A Senate vote on gay marriage is a destructive pretension against the plan of God
Pope Francis
May Christ the Savior give peace to Nigeria, where more blood is being shed and too many people are unjustly deprived of their possessions, held as hostages or killed.
Pope Francis
Peace is always possible but we have to seek it. Let us pray for peace.
Pope Francis
