If, in your relationship with the Lord, you do not feel that He loves you tenderly, you are missing something, you still have not understood what grace is, you have not yet received grace which is this closeness.
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
Let love simply bloom... and it is unstoppable.
Pope Francis
Image
I want to see the church get closer to the people. I want to get rid of clericalism, the mundane, this closing ourselves off within ourselves, in our parishes, schools or structures. Because these need to get out!
Pope Francis
Image
This is precisely the reason for the dissatisfaction of some, who end up sad - sad priests - in some sense becoming collectors of antiques or novelties, instead of being shepherds living with 'the odor of the sheep.' This I ask you: Be shepherds, with the 'odor of the sheep,' make it real, as shepherds among your flock, fishers of men.
Pope Francis
Image
Today one can read the Gospel also on so many technological instruments. You can carry the whole Bible on your mobile phone, on your tablet. It is important to read the Word of God, by any means, but by reading the Word of God: Jesus speaks to us there! And welcome it with an open heart. Then the good seed will bear fruit!
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
God loves us. May we discover the beauty of loving and being loved.
Pope Francis
Image
I love tango, and I used to dance when I was young.
Pope Francis
Image
May God welcome the dead into his peace, comfort the families and convert the hearts of the violent ones, who do not even stop before children.
Pope Francis
Image
For her part, the Church always works for the integral development of every person. In this sense, she reiterates that the common good should not be simply an extra, simply a conceptual scheme of inferior quality tacked onto political programmes. The Church encourages those in power to be truly at the service of the common good of their peoples.
Pope Francis
Image
When we meet a person truly in need, do we see the face of God?
Pope Francis
Image
Workers should have Sundays off because Sunday is for the family. Calling for Sundays to be a holiday.
Pope Francis
Image
The Lord speaks to us through the Scriptures and in our prayer. Let us learn to keep silence before him, as we meditate upon the Gospel.
Pope Francis
Image
Wherever there are men and women who have consecrated their lives to God, there you find joy.
Pope Francis
Image
We ought never to lose hope. God overwhelms us with his grace, if we keep asking.
Pope Francis
Image
Even today we raise our hand against our brother... We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.
Pope Francis
Image
God never closes off horizons He is never unconcerned about the lives and sufferings of His children. God never allows Himself to be outdone in generosity.
Pope Francis
Image
The great challenge facing us today is to learn once again how to talk to one another, not simply how to generate and consume information.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, do not be afraid of making decisive choices in life. Have faith the Lord will not abandon you!
