Pope Francis
Image
During Lent, let us find concrete ways to overcome our indifference.
Pope Francis
Image
Let Jesus preach to you, and and let Jesus heal you. We are all wounded. Everyone.

Image
Where there is calumny, there is Satan himself.
Pope Francis
Image
God is not afraid of new things.
Pope Francis
Image
Do I guard myself, my heart, my feelings, my thoughts? Do I guard the treasure of grace? Do I guard the presence of the Holy Spirit in me? Or do I let go, feeling secure, believing that all is going well?
Pope Francis
Image
Peace is handcrafted. It is made every day. Also friendship among people, mutual knowledge, esteem, is handcrafted. It's made every day. Respect the other, say that which one thinks, but with respect, but walk together.
Pope Francis
Image
Today everything comes under the laws of competition and the survival of the fittest, where the powerful feed upon the powerless. As a consequence, masses of people find themselves excluded and marginalized: without work, without possibilities, without any means of escape.
Pope Francis
Image
Whenever we encounter another person in love, we learn something new about God.
Pope Francis
Image
It seems that humanity is incapable of putting a halt to the shedding of innocent blood.
Pope Francis
Image
Peace is always possible but we have to seek it. Let us pray for peace.
Pope Francis
Image
A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.
Pope Francis
Image
Working for a just distribution of the fruits of the earth and human labor is not mere philanthropy. It is a moral obligation.
Pope Francis
Image
The only way to heal is to look at the Cross, to look at God Who takes upon Himself our sins: my sin is there.
Pope Francis
Image
That is why the center of our faith isn't just a book, but a history of Salvation, and above all, it's about a person: Jesus Christ, the Word of God made flesh.
Pope Francis
Image
Some people believe that - pardon my language - in order to be good Catholics, we should be like rabbits. No.
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
The poor is the center of the Gospel. If we take out the poor, we cannot understand the message of Christ
Pope Francis
Image
Anyone who wants to be pope doesn't care much for themselves, God doesn't bless them. I didn't want to be pope.
Pope Francis
Image
They (the consecrated) are men and woman who can awaken the world. Consecrated life is prophecy. God asks us to fly the nest and to be sent to the frontiers of the world, avoiding the temptation to 'domesticate' them. This is the most concrete way of imitating the Lord.
