It’s like in soccer: you have to deal with the penalties where they fall you can’t choose where they’re going to land. Life is like that, and you have to deal with it even if you don’t like it.

More quotes by Pope Francis
I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt.
Pope Francis
To understand one another, and to grow in charity and truth, we need to pause, to accept and listen to one another. In this way we already begin to experience unity. Unity grows along the way, it never stands still. Unity happens when we walk together.
Pope Francis
Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence, let us never give up: there are no situations which God cannot change, there is no sin which he cannot forgive if only we open ourselves to him.
Pope Francis
Only those who serve with love are able to protect!
Pope Francis
Some people believe that - pardon my language - in order to be good Catholics, we should be like rabbits. No.
Pope Francis
We are all jars of clay, fragile and poor, yet we carry within us an immense treasure.
Pope Francis
I would like a more missionary church,Not so much a tranquil church, but a beautiful church that goes forward.
Pope Francis
Lithuanian bishops have been heroic!
Pope Francis
May every Church and Christian community be a place of mercy amid so much indifference.
Pope Francis
The Golden Rule reminds us of our responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage of its development. This conviction has led me, from the beginning of my ministry, to advocate at different levels for the global abolition of the death penalty.
Pope Francis
Love is more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope blossom in the wilderness.
Pope Francis
Christian hope is not a ghost and it does not deceive. It is a theological virtue and therefore, ultimately, a gift from God that cannot be reduced to optimism, which is only human. God does not mislead hope God cannot deny himself. God is all promise.
Pope Francis
Praise is the 'breath' which gives us life, because it is intimacy with God, an intimacy that grows through daily praise.
Pope Francis
In a very real way, the poor are our teachers. They show us that people’s value is not measured by their possessions or how much money they have in the bank. A poor person, a person lacking material possessions, always maintains his or her dignity. The poor can teach us much about humility and trust in God.
Pope Francis
There is a need for financial reform along ethical lines that would produce in its turn an economic reform to benefit everyone. This would nevertheless require a courageous change of attitude on the part of political leaders.
Pope Francis
I like this idea of the re-foundation of the European Union, maybe it can be done, because Europe - I do not say is unique, but it has a force, a culture, a history that cannot be wasted, and we must do everything so that the European Union has the strength and also the inspiration to make it go forward. That's what I think.
Pope Francis
There is so much noise in the world! May we learn to be silent in our hearts and before God.
Pope Francis
The challenge of life is to learn how to love
Pope Francis
We are impatient, anxious to see the whole picture, but God lets us see things slowly, quietly.
Pope Francis
I have decided to proclaim for the whole Church... a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria, the Middle East, and throughout the world, and I also invite each person, including our fellow Christians, followers of other religions and all men of good will, to participate, in whatever way they can, in this initiative.
Pope Francis
