More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
Confession is the sacrament of the tenderness of God, his way of embracing us.
Pope Francis
Image
A Christian who does not protect Creation, who does not let it grow, is a Christian who does not care about the work of God, that work that was born from the love of God for us. And this is the first response to the first creation: protect creation, make it grow.
Pope Francis
Image
Money has to serve, not to rule!
Pope Francis
Image
None of us can think we are exempt from concerns for the poor and for social justice.
Pope Francis
Image
The confessional is not a torture chamber, but the place in which the Lord's mercy motivates us to do better.
Pope Francis
Image
Despite our sins, we can say with Peter: Lord, you know everything, you know that I love you.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray that the Church be holier and more humble, loving God by serving the poor, the lonely and the sick.
Pope Francis
Image
He looked beyond. He looked to the peoples of the Earth and saw the destruction of the family because of the lack of children. Paul VI was courageous. He was a good pastor. He warned his sheep about the wolves that were approaching, and from the heavens he blesses us today.
Pope Francis
Image
In the poor and outcast we see Christ’s face by loving and helping the poor, we love and serve Christ.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, Jesus gives us life, life in abundance. If we are close to him we will have joy in our hearts and a smile on our face.
Pope Francis
Image
The family is threatened by growing efforts on the part of some to redefine the very institution of marriage, by relativism, by the culture of the ephemeral, by a lack of openness to life. These realities are increasingly under attack from powerful forces, which threaten to disfigure God’s plan for creation.
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
We need to avoid the spiritual sickness of a church that is wrapped up in its own world: when a church becomes like this, it grows sick.
Pope Francis
Image
All revealed truths derive from the same divine source and are to be believed with the same faith, yet some of them are more important for giving direct expression to the heart of the Gospel. In this basic core, what shines forth is the beauty of the saving love of God made manifest in Jesus Christ who died and rose from the dead.
Pope Francis
Image
If there is no humility, love remains blocked.
Pope Francis
Image
You might say, 'Can't we have a more human Christianity, without the cross, without Jesus, without stripping ourselves?' In this way we'd become pastry-shop Christians, like a pretty cake and nice sweet things. Pretty, but not true Christians.
Pope Francis
Image
Sin, also for those who don't have faith, exists when one goes against one's conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.
Pope Francis
Image
I wish to make add my voice to the cry which rises up with increasing anguish from every part of the world, from every people, from the heart of each person, from the one great family which is humanity: it is the cry for peace!
Pope Francis
Image
The growth of equality… calls for decisions, mechanisms and processes directed to a better distribution of wealth, the creation of sources of employment and an integral promotion of the poor, which goes beyond a simple welfare mentality.
Pope Francis
Image
May both of them [Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II] teach us not to be scandalized by the wounds of Christ and to enter ever more deeply into the mystery of divine mercy, which always hopes and always forgives, because it always loves.
Pope Francis
