More quotes by Pope Francis
We cannot become starched Christians, too polite, who speak of theology calmly over tea. We have to become courageous Christians and seek out those (who need help most).
Pope Francis
Jesus spoke in such a way that the people loved the things of God. That’s why they followed him.
Pope Francis
I'm overwhelmed by shame that the people who had the responsibility to take care of the tender ones violated that trust and caused them great pain.
Pope Francis
When we do not adore God, we adore something else. Money and power are false idols which often take the place of God.
Pope Francis
I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess.
Pope Francis
Inconsistency on the part of pastors and the faithful between what they say and what they do, between word and manner of life, is undermining the church's credibility.
Pope Francis
Where there is no work, there is no dignity.
Pope Francis
The question of truth is really a question of memory, deep memory, for it deals with something prior to ourselves and can succeed in uniting us in a way that transcends our petty and limited individual consciousness. It is a question about the origin of all that is, in whose light we can glimpse the goal and thus the meaning of our common path.
Pope Francis
Dear young people, always be missionaries of the Gospel, every day and in every place.
Pope Francis
Dear brothers and sisters, the Church loves you! Be an active presence in the community, as living cells, as living stones.
Pope Francis
May each family rediscover family prayer, which helps to bring about mutual understanding and forgiveness.
Pope Francis
Fasting makes sense if it really chips away at our security and, as a consequence, benefits someone else, if it helps us cultivate the style of the good Samaritan, who bent down to his brother in need and took care of him.
Pope Francis
A small step, in the midst of great human limitations, can be more pleasing to God than a life which appears outwardly in order but moves through the day without confronting great difficulties.
Pope Francis
Today, in Mexico, they speak 65 languages, counting the indigenous languages, 65. It is a people of great faith. They have also suffered religious persecution.
Pope Francis
There are people who are afraid to go to confession, forgetting that they will not encounter a severe judge there, but the immensely merciful Father.
Pope Francis
We can walk when we want to, we can build many things, but if we do not witness to Jesus Christ then it doesn't matter. We might become a philanthropic NGO but we wouldn't be the Church, the Bride of the Lord.
Pope Francis
We need to 'go out,' then, in order to experience our own anointing, its power and its redemptive efficacy: to the 'outskirts' where there is suffering, bloodshed, blindness that longs for sight, and prisoners in thrall to many evil masters.
Pope Francis
The Christian mission has only one focus: to change individual's lives so they can change the world.
Pope Francis
A fundamental role in the renewal of society is played, of course, by the family and especially by young people.
Pope Francis
Without a solution to the problems of the poor, we will not solve the problems of the world. We need projects, mechanisms and processes to implement better distribution of resources, from the creation of new jobs to the integral promotion of those who are excluded'.
Pope Francis
