Image
It is now, more than ever, necessary that political leaders be outstanding for honesty, integrity and commitment to the common good.
Pope Francis
Image
Wherever there are men and women who have consecrated their lives to God, there you find joy.
Pope Francis
Image
I would like especially to mention you, the women, wives and mothers of Paraguay, who at great cost and sacrifice were able to lift up a country defeated, devastated and laid low by an abominable war. God bless your perseverance, God bless and encourage your faith, God bless the women of Paraguay, the most glorious women of America.
Pope Francis
Image
The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray for all good and faithful priests who dedicate themselves to their people with generosity and unknown sacrifices.
Pope Francis
Image
It occurs to me: why is it mainly women, who to pass on the faith? Simply because the one who brought us Jesus is a woman. It is the path chosen by Jesus. He wanted to have a mother: the gift of faith comes to us through women, as Jesus came to us through Mary.
Pope Francis
Image
Obeying God is listening to God, having an open heart to follow the path that God points out to us.
Pope Francis
Image
If there is no humility, love remains blocked.
Pope Francis
Image
True peace is not a balance of opposing forces, and it is not ‘a lovely façade’ simply covering conflicts and divisions. Rather, peace calls for daily commitment -- it's homemade -- starting from God's gift, from the grace which he has given us in Jesus Christ.
Pope Francis
Image
Through prayer, charity and humility before God, people receive a heart which is firm and merciful, attentive and generous, a heart which is not closed, indifferent or prey to the globalization of indifference.
Pope Francis
Image
I like it when someone tells me: 'I don't agree.' This is a true collaborator. When they say 'Oh, how great, how great, how great,' that's not useful.
Pope Francis
Image
Gratitude is a flower that blooms in noble souls.
Pope Francis
Image
[Abortion] is an evil in and of itself, but it is not a religious evil in the beginning, no, it's a human evil. Then obviously, as with every human evil, each killing is condemned.
Pope Francis
Image
If we live according to the law an eye for an eye..., we will never escape from the spiral of evil.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not have a computer psychology that makes us think we know it all. All answers on computers - but no surprises. The challenge of love. God reveals himself through surprises.
Pope Francis
Image
When Christians forget about hope and tenderness they become a cold Church, that loses its sense of direction and is held back by ideologies and worldly attitudes, whereas God’s simplicity tells you: go forward, I am a Father who caresses you.
Pope Francis
Image
Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare.
Pope Francis
Image
Such self-denial 'may appear demanding,' but it will allow you, so to speak, to be and to breathe within the heart of the church.
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
We cannot give up in the face of evil. God is Love and he has defeated evil through Christ’s death and resurrection.
