Pope Francis
Image
To be an ambassador for Christ means to invite everyone to a personal encounter with Jesus
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
The only way to heal is to look at the Cross, to look at God Who takes upon Himself our sins: my sin is there.
Pope Francis
Image
An evangelizer must never look like someone who has just come back from a funeral.
Pope Francis

If globalization seeks to bring all of us together, but to do so respecting each person, each individual person's peculiarity, that globalization is good and makes us good and grow and leads to peace.
Pope Francis
Image
Instead of being just a church that welcomes and receives by keeping the doors open, let us try also to be a church that finds new roads, that is able to step outside itself and go to those who do not attend Mass, to those who have quit or are indifferent.
Pope Francis
Image
I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance, says Jesus. This is where true wealth is found, not in material things!
Pope Francis
Image
Charity, patience and tenderness are very beautiful gifts. If you have them, you want to share them with others.
Pope Francis
Image
The poor is the center of the Gospel. If we take out the poor, we cannot understand the message of Christ
Pope Francis
Image
From the way children are treated society can be judged.
Pope Francis
Image
If someone is gay and is searching for the Lord and has good will, then who am I to judge him?... No one should marginalize these people for this, they must be integrated into society.
Pope Francis
Image
Praise is the 'breath' which gives us life, because it is intimacy with God, an intimacy that grows through daily praise.
Pope Francis
Image
Your sins are great? Just tell the Lord: Forgive me, help me to get up again, change my heart!
Pope Francis
Image
Tell me, when you give alms do you look into the eyes of the man or woman to whom you give alms? . . . And when you give alms, do you touch the hand of the one to whom you give alms, or do you toss the coin?
Pope Francis
Image
Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good... Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.
Pope Francis
