Those called to the service of governance in the church need to have a strong sense of justice, so that any form of injustice becomes unacceptable.
Pope Francis
Image
None of us can think we are exempt from concerns for the poor and for social justice.

Pope Francis
Image

Today people are suffering from poverty, but also from lack of love
Pope Francis
Image

Pope Francis
Image
To follow Jesus means putting him first, and stripping ourselves of all the things that oppress our hearts.
Pope Francis
Image
How many innocent people and children suffer in the world! Lord, grant us your peace!
Pope Francis

The proclamation of the saving love of God comes before moral and religious imperatives. Today sometimes it seems that the opposite order is prevailing.
Pope Francis
Image
When I was a seminarian, I was dazzled by a girl I met at an uncle’s wedding. I was surprised by her beauty, her intellectual brilliance… and, well, I was bowled over for quite a while.
Pope Francis

There is so much noise in the world! May we learn to be silent in our hearts and before God.
