Pope Francis

Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God's creation, made in his own image, destined to live for ever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.
Pope Francis
Image
The Sacraments are Jesus Christ’s presence in us. So it is important for us to go to Confession and receive Holy Communion.
Pope Francis
Image
There are the saints of every day, the 'hidden' saints, a sort of 'middle class of holiness'... to which we can all belong.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, do not give up your dreams of a more just world!
Pope Francis
Image
I have neither silver nor gold, but I bring with me the most precious thing given to me: Jesus Christ.
Pope Francis
Image
Let's return to our first love, in order to receive the fire which Jesus has kindled in the world and to bring that fire to all people, to the very ends of the earth.
