Quote

Take good care of creation. St. Francis wanted that. People occasionally forgive, but nature never does. If we don't take care of the environment, there's no way of getting around it.

More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
The mystery of the Cross, a mystery of love, can only be understood in prayer. Pray and weep, kneeling before the Cross.
Pope Francis
Image
Although it is a symbol of life, the female body is unfortunately not rarely attacked and disfigured, even by those who should be its protector and life companion.
Pope Francis
Image
This is God's way, the way of humility. It is the way of Jesus there is no other. And there can be no humility without humiliation.
Pope Francis
Image
If I'm not mistaken, Sigmund Freud said that in every idealisation there's an aggression. Depicting the Pope as a sort of Superman, a star, is offensive to me. The pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps calmly and has friends like everyone else. A normal person.
Pope Francis
Image
Certain realities of life we only see through eyes cleansed by our tears.
Pope Francis
Image
A fundamental role in the renewal of society is played, of course, by the family and especially by young people.
Pope Francis

I love tango, and I used to dance when I was young.
Pope Francis

A man who does not know how to have a relationship of friendship with a woman - I'm not talking about misogynists, who are sick - well, he's a man who is missing something.
Pope Francis
Image
Love makes us similar, it creates equality, it breaks down walls and eliminates distances. God did this with us.
Pope Francis
Image
There is never a reason to lose hope. Jesus says: “I am with you until the end of the world.
Pope Francis
Image
Life once conceived, must be protected with the utmost care abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus understands our weaknesses and sins and he forgives us if we allow ourselves to be forgiven.
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
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
The Cross isn't an ornament, mere symbol. It's the mystery of God's love, that He died for our sins.
Pope Francis
Image
We must overcome...all forms of racism. The problem of intolerance should be dealt with as a whole: every time a minority is persecuted and marginalized...the good of the whole society is in danger.
Pope Francis
Image
The emptier a person's heart is, the more he or she needs to buy, own, and consume.
Pope Francis
Image
Do I pray that the Lord gives me the desire to do his will, or do I look for compromises because I'm afraid of God's will?
