We cannot be part-time Christians! We should seek to live our faith at every moment of every day.
Pope Francis

This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly... a tragedy... what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!
Pope Francis

There is the tendency to place ourselves and our ambitions at the center of our lives. This is very human, but it is not Christian.
Pope Francis
Image
Once elected, the Pope is by virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error. God would change any spend thrift politician into a responsible Pope.

Joy cannot be held at heel: it must be let go. Joy is a pilgrim virtue. It is a gift that walks, walks on the path of life, that walks with Jesus: preaching, proclaiming Jesus, proclaiming joy, lengthens and widens that path.

Sin is not a stain that I must wash out. What I need to do is ask forgiveness and reconcile myself, not go to the drycleaners. I have to go encounter Jesus who gave his life for me.

Pope Francis
Image
For her part, the Church always works for the integral development of every person. In this sense, she reiterates that the common good should not be simply an extra, simply a conceptual scheme of inferior quality tacked onto political programmes. The Church encourages those in power to be truly at the service of the common good of their peoples.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Praise is the 'breath' which gives us life, because it is intimacy with God, an intimacy that grows through daily praise.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, Jesus wants to be your friend, and wants you to spread the joy of this friendship everywhere.
Pope Francis
Image
Abortion is without a doubt one of the greatest moral evils within modernity. As the Advocate of Christian Memory, a pope must take up the mantle of defending the culture of life - a defense the Early Church held against the pagans of Rome.
Pope Francis

The Sacraments are Jesus Christ’s presence in us. So it is important for us to go to Confession and receive Holy Communion.
