Quote

If the Christian is a restorationist, a legalist, if he wants everything clear and safe, then he will find nothing. Tradition and memory of the past must help us to have the courage to open up new areas to God.

Inequality is the root of social evil.
Pope Francis
Image
We are impatient, anxious to see the whole picture, but God lets us see things slowly, quietly.
Pope Francis
Image
I think we too are the people who, on the one hand, want to listen to Jesus, but on the other hand, at times, like to find a stick to beat others with, to condemn others. And Jesus has this message for us: mercy. I think - and I say it with humility - that this is the Lord's most powerful message: mercy.
Pope Francis
Image
If Jesus is to become the center of our life, we need to spend time in His presence, before the Tabernacle.
Pope Francis
Image
The Gospel teaches us what Jesus' kingdom requires of us... Reminds us that closeness and tenderness are the rules of life.

Pope Francis
Image
[Joseph Ratzinger] is a man who as the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith had everything in his hands. He conducted all the investigations, and went on, went on, went on, until he couldn't go any further in the execution.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Jesus spoke in such a way that the people loved the things of God. That’s why they followed him.
Pope Francis
Image
There are some things we really need to take care of: the children, and grandparents. Children, whether they are young or older, they are the strength that moves us forward. We place our hope in them.Grandparents are the living memory of the family. They passed on the faith, they transmitted the faith, to us.
Pope Francis
Image
Amid so many problems, even grave, may we not lose our hope in the infinite mercy of God.
Pope Francis
Image
We ought never to lose hope. God overwhelms us with his grace, if we keep asking.
Pope Francis
Image
Let those desert places in our hearts bloom.
Pope Francis
