More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth.
Pope Francis
Image
There is so much indifference in the face of suffering. May we overcome indifference with concrete acts of charity.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.
Pope Francis
Image
Love is more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope blossom in the wilderness.
Pope Francis
Image
The Eucharist, although it is the fullness of sacramental life, is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak.
Pope Francis
Image
How beautiful it is to see that young people are 'street preachers,' joyfully bringing Jesus to every street, every town square and every corner of the earth!
Pope Francis
Image
Reforming the social structures which perpetuate poverty and the exclusion of the poor first requires a conversion of mind and heart.
Pope Francis
Image
Only by becoming poor ourselves, by stripping away our complacency, will we be able to identify with the least of our brothers and sisters.
Pope Francis
Image
A simple lifestyle is good for us, helping us to better share with those in need.
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
Jesus is the one who brings God to us and us to God.
Pope Francis
Image
To follow Jesus means putting him first, and stripping ourselves of all the things that oppress our hearts.
Pope Francis
Image
Not only would I say that the family is important for the evangelization of the new world. The family is important, and it is necessary for the survival of humanity. Without the family, the cultural survival of the human race would be at risk. The family, whether we like it or not, is the foundation.
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
If priest is closed to forgiveness, he won't receive it, because he locked the door from the inside. And what remains is to pray for the Lord to open that door. To forgive you must be willing. But not everyone can receive or know how to receive it, or are just not willing to receive it.
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
A person who is not convinced, enthusiastic, certain and in love, will convince nobody.
Pope Francis
Image
The whole journey of life is a journey of preparation... to see, to feel, to understand the beauty of what lies ahead, of the homeland towards which we walk.
Pope Francis
Image
The goods of the earth are meant for everyone.
