Quote

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.

The question of truth is really a question of memory, deep memory, for it deals with something prior to ourselves and can succeed in uniting us in a way that transcends our petty and limited individual consciousness. It is a question about the origin of all that is, in whose light we can glimpse the goal and thus the meaning of our common path.

Pope Francis
Image
Dear brothers and sisters, the Church loves you! Be an active presence in the community, as living cells, as living stones.
Pope Francis

I say only that this man [Donald Trump] is not Christian if he has said things like that [about wall]. We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt.
Pope Francis
Image
We must walk united with our differences: there is no other way to become one. This is the way of Jesus.

Abortion is not the lesser of two evils. It is a crime. It is to throw someone out in order to save another.

I like to say that women are those who form life in their wombs - and this is a comparison I make - they have this charism of giving you things you can build with.
Pope Francis
