Image
We cannot give up in the face of evil. God is Love and he has defeated evil through Christ’s death and resurrection.
Pope Francis
Image
In the Gospel we have just heard, Jesus, the Master, teaches the crowds and the small group of his disciples by accommodating himself to their ability to understand. ... Jesus does not seek to 'play the professor.' Instead, he seeks to reach people's hearts, their understanding and their lives, so that they may bear fruit.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one's life.
Pope Francis
Image
The one who listens attentively to the Word of God and truly prays, always asks the Lord: what is your will for me?
Pope Francis
Image
My authoritarian and quick manner of making decisions led me to have serious problems and to be accused of being ultraconservative. I have never been a right-winger. It was my authoritarian way of making decisions that created problems.
Pope Francis
Image
It is through an unbroken chain of witnesses that we come to see the face of Jesus.
Pope Francis
Image
Human trafficking is a scourge, a crime against the whole of humanity. It is time to join forces and work together to free its victims and to eradicate this crime that affects all of us, from individual families to the worldwide community.
Pope Francis
Image
Wine is a sign of happiness, love and plenty, how many of our adolescents and young people sense that these are no longer found in their homes? How many women, sad and lonely, wonder when love left, when it slipped away from their lives? How many elderly people feel left out of family celebrations, cast aside and longing each day for a little love?
Pope Francis
Image
Let us never yield to pessimism, to that bitterness that the devil offers us every day.
Pope Francis
Image
To be a mother is a great treasure. Mothers, in their unconditional and sacrificial love for their children, are the antidote to individualism they are the greatest enemies against war.
Pope Francis
Image
Do not be afraid to cast yourselves into the arms of God whatever he asks of you, he will repay a hundredfold.
Pope Francis
Image
Breathing is made up of two stages: inhaling, the intake of air, and exhaling, the letting out of air. The spiritual life is fed, nourished, by prayer and is expressed outwardly through mission: inhaling and exhaling. When we inhale, by prayer, we receive the fresh air of the Holy Spirit.
Pope Francis
Image
Holy Mother Church teaches us to end the year and also our days with an examination of conscience...to be grateful and to ask for forgiveness.
Pope Francis
Image
Where there is no work, there is no dignity.
Pope Francis
Image
I tell priests to flee from clericalism because clericalism distances people. May they flee from clericalism and I add: it's a plague in the Church.
Pope Francis
Image
I am always wary of decisions made hastily. I am always wary of the first decision, that is, the first thing that comes to my mind if I have to make a decision. This is usually the wrong thing. I have to wait and assess, looking deep into myself, taking the necessary time.
Pope Francis
Image
Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out? And we do not let him out because of our own need for security, because so often we are locked into ephemeral structures that serve solely to make us slaves and not free children of God.
Pope Francis
Image
If we are truly in love with Christ and if we sense how much he loves us, our heart will 'light up' with a joy that spreads to everyone around us.
Pope Francis
Image
The whole journey of life is a journey of preparation... to see, to feel, to understand the beauty of what lies ahead, of the homeland towards which we walk.
Pope Francis
Image
If we learn to say we're sorry and ask forgiveness, the marriage will last.
Pope Francis
