Christmas celebrations are often full of sound. It would be good for us to make room for silence, to hear the voice of Love.

More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
Wretched are those who are vindictive and spiteful.
Pope Francis
Image
It is the attitude of some leaders of God's people they continually scold others, hurl reproaches at them, tell them to be quiet. ... 'Madam, take your crying child out of the church as I am preaching.' As if the cries of a child were not a sublime homily.
Pope Francis
Image
Spiritual worldliness kills! It kills the soul! It kills the Church!
Pope Francis
Image
Do not be afraid to go and to bring Christ into every area of life, to the fringes of society, even to those who seem farthest away, most indifferent.
Pope Francis
Image
This is precisely the reason for the dissatisfaction of some, who end up sad - sad priests - in some sense becoming collectors of antiques or novelties, instead of being shepherds living with 'the odor of the sheep.' This I ask you: Be shepherds, with the 'odor of the sheep,' make it real, as shepherds among your flock, fishers of men.
Pope Francis
Image
There are some things we really need to take care of: the children, and grandparents. Children, whether they are young or older, they are the strength that moves us forward. We place our hope in them.Grandparents are the living memory of the family. They passed on the faith, they transmitted the faith, to us.
Pope Francis
Image
We ought never to lose hope. God overwhelms us with his grace, if we keep asking.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us ask the Holy Spirit for the grace to live daily according to the mind of Jesus and his Gospel.
Pope Francis
Image
The human person is in danger: this is certain, the human person is in danger today, here is the urgency of human ecology! And it is a serious danger because the cause of the problem is not superficial but profound: it is not just a matter of economics, but of ethics and anthropology.
Pope Francis
Image
I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess.
Pope Francis
Image
If money and material things become the center of our lives, they seize us and make us slaves.
Pope Francis
Image
The Pope doesn't get mixed up in Italian politics.
Pope Francis
Image
I believe in the old warrior's credo that to the victor go the spoils.
Pope Francis
Image
Do we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit, so as to be an active part of our communities, or do we close in on ourselves, saying 'I have so many things to do, that's not my job'?
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
Before God and his people I express my sorrow for the sins and grave crimes of clerical sexual abuse committed against you. And I humbly ask forgiveness.
Pope Francis
Image
Worshipping the Lord means giving him the place that he must have worshipping the Lord means stating, believing-not only by our words- that he alone truly guides our lives worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before him that he is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history.
Pope Francis
Image
It means caring for one another in our families: husbands and wives first protect one another, and then, as parents, they care for their children, and children themselves, in time, protect their parents.
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
Let us pray that the Church be holier and more humble, loving God by serving the poor, the lonely and the sick.
Pope Francis
