Lord, help us to live the virtue of generosity, to love without limits.
Pope Francis
Image
When I saw from Rome that catastrophe (brought by Yolanda) I had to be here. And on those very days I decided to come here. I am here to be with you – a little bit late, but I’m here.
Pope Francis
Image
If priest is closed to forgiveness, he won't receive it, because he locked the door from the inside. And what remains is to pray for the Lord to open that door. To forgive you must be willing. But not everyone can receive or know how to receive it, or are just not willing to receive it.
Pope Francis
Image
It makes no difference whether they be Catholics, Orthodox, Copts or Protestants. They are Christians! Their blood is one and the same. Their blood confesses Christ.
Pope Francis

States kill when they apply the death penalty, when they send their people to war, or when they carry out extra-judicial or summary executions. They can also kill by omission, when they fail to guarantee to their people access to the bare essentials for life.
Pope Francis

The charismatics confused the holy liturgy with a school of samba, but than I was converted when I got to know them better and saw the good they do.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not grow tired of knocking at God's door. Let us go to the heart of God through Mary, our whole life, every day, knocking at the door of God's heart! Mary prays - prays together with the community of disciples, and teaches us to have full faith in God, in his mercy. This is the power of prayer!
Pope Francis
Image
It is the attitude of some leaders of God's people they continually scold others, hurl reproaches at them, tell them to be quiet. ... 'Madam, take your crying child out of the church as I am preaching.' As if the cries of a child were not a sublime homily.
Pope Francis
Image
Consumerism has brought us anxiety. Set aside time to play with your children, and turn off the TV when they sit down to eat.
Pope Francis
Image
Who am I to judge a gay person?
Pope Francis

May Christ the Savior give peace to Nigeria, where more blood is being shed and too many people are unjustly deprived of their possessions, held as hostages or killed.
Pope Francis
Image
Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out?
Pope Francis
Image
Our life must be centred on what is essential, on Jesus Christ. Everything else is secondary.
Pope Francis
