To follow Jesus means putting him first, and stripping ourselves of all the things that oppress our hearts.
Pope Francis

We have to state, without mincing words, that there is an inseparable bond between our faith and the poor. May we never abandon them.
Pope Francis
Image
You just can’t say that, just as you can’t say that all Christians are fundamentalists. We have our share of them (fundamentalists). All religions have these little groups.
Pope Francis
Image
If someone is gay and is searching for the Lord and has good will, then who am I to judge him?... No one should marginalize these people for this, they must be integrated into society.
Pope Francis
Image
Each person, and every people hungers and thirsts for peace therefore, it is necessary and urgent to build peace!

Don't confuse the evil of avoiding pregnancy by itself, with abortion. Abortion is not a theological problem, it is a human problem, it is a medical problem. You kill one person to save another, in the best case scenario.
Pope Francis
Image
We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. The teaching of the church, for that matter, is clear and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time.
Pope Francis
Image
I join the March for Life in Washington with my prayers. May God help us respect all life, especially the most vulnerable.
Pope Francis
Image
Every Christian can witness to God in the workplace, not only with words, but above all with an honest life.
Pope Francis
Image
The family is threatened by growing efforts on the part of some to redefine the very institution of marriage, by relativism, by the culture of the ephemeral, by a lack of openness to life. These realities are increasingly under attack from powerful forces, which threaten to disfigure God’s plan for creation.
Pope Francis
Image
More and more people work on Sundays as a consequence of the competitiveness imposed by a consumer society.
Pope Francis
Image
The Sacraments are the manifestation of the Father’s tenderness and love towards each of us.
Pope Francis
Image
Total openness to serving others is our hallmark, it alone is our title of honour!
Pope Francis
Image
They are our future, and we must have a dialogue. This dialogue between the past and the future is important. Because of this I underline so much the relationship between the youth and grandparents. They must speak with.
