The fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts, especially in its causes.
Pope Francis
Image
I sincerely hope I can contribute to the progress there has been in relations between Jews and Catholics since the Second Vatican Council in a spirit of renewed collaboration.
Pope Francis
Image
We cannot be Christians part-time. If Christ is at the center of our lives, he is present in all that we do.
Pope Francis
Image
Be present to those who, living in the midst of a society burdened by poverty and corruption, are broken in spirit, tempted to give up, to leave school and to live on the streets.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, pray with me for peace in the world.
Pope Francis
Image
Instead of seeming to impose new obligations, they should appear as people who wish to share their joy, who point to a horizon of beauty and who invite others to a delicious banquet. It is not by proselytizing that the Church grows, but by attraction.
Pope Francis
Image
Today is my anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. Please pray for me and all priests.
Pope Francis

The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. Those who accept His offer of salvation are set free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness, and loneliness. With Christ joy is constantly born anew.
Pope Francis
Image
Perhaps I can say that I am a bit astute, that I can adapt to circumstances, but it is also true that I am a bit naive. Yes, but the best summary, the one that comes more from the inside and I feel most true is this: I am a sinner whom the Lord has looked upon.
Pope Francis

The key that opens the door to the faith is prayer.
Pope Francis
Image
Having faith does not mean having no difficulties, but having the strength to face them, knowing we are not alone.
Pope Francis
Image
Children are to be welcomed, cherished, protected.
Pope Francis
Image
How powerful prayer is! May we never lose the courage to say: Lord, give us your peace.
Pope Francis
Image
Every time we judge our brother in our hearts or worse when we speak badly of them with others, we are murdering Christians.
Pope Francis
Image
The teachings of the Gospel have direct consequences for our way of thinking, feeling and living.
Pope Francis
Image
In the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord.
Pope Francis
Image
It’s like in soccer: you have to deal with the penalties where they fall you can’t choose where they’re going to land. Life is like that, and you have to deal with it even if you don’t like it.
Pope Francis
Image
Holiness doesn't mean doing extraordinary things, but doing ordinary things with love and faith.
