Image
The imposition of anomalous models and lifestyles are alien to people's identity and, in the end, are irresponsible.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
Trust in the power of Christ’s Cross! Receive his reconciling grace and share it!
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus is not a figure from the past: He continues now and always to light the way for us.
Pope Francis
Image
There are the saints of every day, the 'hidden' saints, a sort of 'middle class of holiness'... to which we can all belong.
Pope Francis

Do not forget this: the Lord never wearies of forgiving! We are the ones who weary of asking for forgiveness.

When families bring children into the world, train them in faith and sound values, and teach them to contribute to society, they become a blessing in our world.
Pope Francis
Image
Proclaim the beauty and truth of the Christian message to a society which is tangent by confusing presentations of sexuality, marriage and the family.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Since God created the world, He also created reality.
Pope Francis
Image
Where there is no work, there is no dignity.
Pope Francis
Image
We must walk united with our differences: there is no other way to become one. This is the way of Jesus.
Pope Francis
Image
Where there is calumny, there is Satan himself.
Pope Francis
Image
The political struggle against marriage equality is war
Pope Francis
Image
How often we forget to dedicate ourselves to that which truly matters! We forget that we are children of God.
Pope Francis
Image
Whenever we take a step towards Jesus, we come to realize that he is already there, waiting for us with open arms.
