More quotes by Pope Francis
The proclamation of Jesus is not a veneer: the proclamation of Jesus goes straight to the bones, heart, goes deep within and change us. And the spirit of the world does not tolerate it, will not tolerate it, and therefore, there is persecution.
Pope Francis
Needing to talk badly about others indicates low self esteem. That means, 'I feel so low that instead of picking myself up, I have to cut others down.' Letting go of negative things quickly is healthy.
Pope Francis
We should all remember... that throwing food away is like stealing from the tables of the poor, the hungry! I encourage everyone to reflect on the problem of thrown away and wasted food to identify ways and means that, by seriously addressing this issue, are a vehicle of solidarity and sharing with the needy.
Pope Francis
Let us never forget that it is the Lord who guides the Church. He is the one who makes our apostolates fruitful.
Pope Francis
It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one.
Pope Francis
Although it is a symbol of life, the female body is unfortunately not rarely attacked and disfigured, even by those who should be its protector and life companion.
Pope Francis
To follow Jesus means putting him first, and stripping ourselves of all the things that oppress our hearts.
Pope Francis
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
This is ideological colonization. They colonize people with ideas that try to change mentalities or structures, but this is not new. This was done by the dictatorships of the last century.
Pope Francis
Whenever we take a step towards Jesus, we come to realize that he is already there, waiting for us with open arms.
Pope Francis
In the Western Church to which I belong, priests cannot be married as in the Byzantine, Ukrainian, Russian or Greek Catholic Churches. In those Churches, the priests can be married, but the bishops have to be celibate. They are very good priests.
Pope Francis
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
A Senate vote on gay marriage is a destructive pretension against the plan of God
Pope Francis
When I was a seminarian, I was dazzled by a girl I met at an uncle’s wedding. I was surprised by her beauty, her intellectual brilliance… and, well, I was bowled over for quite a while.
Pope Francis
The life of Jesus is a life for others. It is a life of service.
Pope Francis
We also try to reach out to people who are far away, via digital means, the web and brief messaging.
Pope Francis
Who am I to judge a gay person?
Pope Francis
In a word: charity cannot be neutral, antiseptic, indifferent, lukewarm or impartial! Charity is infectious, it excites, it risks and it engages! For true charity is always unmerited, unconditional and gratuitous!
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
Dear young people, always be missionaries of the Gospel, every day and in every place.
Pope Francis
