More quotes by Pope Francis
May no one use religion as a pretext for actions against human dignity and against the fundamental rights of every man and woman.
Pope Francis
We are called to reach out to those who find themselves in the existential peripheries of our societies and to show particular solidarity with the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters: the poor, the disabled, the unborn and the sick, migrants and refugees, the elderly and the young who lack employment.
Pope Francis
I recognize that globalization has helped many people rise out of poverty, but it has also damned many others to starve to death. It is true that global wealth is growing in absolute terms, but inequalities have also grown and new poverty arisen.
Pope Francis
The Internet offers immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. This is something truly good, a gift from God.
Pope Francis
Money must serve, not rule! The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but he is obliged in the name of Christ to remind all that the rich must help, respect and promote the poor. I exhort you to generous solidarity and a return of economics and finance to an ethical approach which favours human beings.
Pope Francis
The Holy Spirit truly transforms us. With our cooperation, he also wants to transform the world we live in.
Pope Francis
That which gives us true freedom and true happiness is the compassionate love of Christ.
Pope Francis
This is ideological colonization. They colonize people with ideas that try to change mentalities or structures, but this is not new. This was done by the dictatorships of the last century.
Pope Francis
Who am I to judge a gay person?
Pope Francis
Together with a culture of work, there must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport.
Pope Francis
It's not a problem that we're sinners it's a problem that we aren't ashamed of our sin and don't seek forgiveness.
Pope Francis
To be saints is not a privilege for a few, but a vocation for everyone.
Pope Francis
Leaders of the Church have often been Narcissus, flattered and sickeningly excited by their courtiers. The court is the leprosy of the papacy.
Pope Francis
If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?
Pope Francis
Where there is no work, there is no dignity.
Pope Francis
Christian hope is not a ghost and it does not deceive. It is a theological virtue and therefore, ultimately, a gift from God that cannot be reduced to optimism, which is only human. God does not mislead hope God cannot deny himself. God is all promise.
Pope Francis
The Eucharist is essential for us: it is Christ who wishes to enter our lives and fill us with his grace.
Pope Francis
If there is no humility, love remains blocked.
Pope Francis
The two key words for the European Union are creativity and fruitfulness. That's the challenge.
Pope Francis
Wars are always madness: all is lost in war, all is to be gained in peace.
Pope Francis
