Quote

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.

When you meet the needy your heart grows bigger
Pope Francis
Image
The fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts, especially in its causes.
Pope Francis
Image
The confessional is not a torture chamber, but the place in which the Lord's mercy motivates us to do better.
Pope Francis
Image
The Roman Curia has its defects, but it seems to me that people often overemphasize its defects and talk too little about the health of the many religious and laypeople who work there.
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
The family is threatened by growing efforts on the part of some to redefine the very institution of marriage, by relativism, by the culture of the ephemeral, by a lack of openness to life. These realities are increasingly under attack from powerful forces, which threaten to disfigure God’s plan for creation.
Pope Francis
Image
States kill when they apply the death penalty, when they send their people to war, or when they carry out extra-judicial or summary executions. They can also kill by omission, when they fail to guarantee to their people access to the bare essentials for life.
Pope Francis
Image
While all too many people live in dire poverty, others are caught up in materialism and lifestyles which are destructive of family life and the most basic demands of Christian morality.
Pope Francis
Image
I wish to make add my voice to the cry which rises up with increasing anguish from every part of the world, from every people, from the heart of each person, from the one great family which is humanity: it is the cry for peace!
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
Money must serve, not rule! The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but he is obliged in the name of Christ to remind all that the rich must help, respect and promote the poor. I exhort you to generous solidarity and a return of economics and finance to an ethical approach which favours human beings.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence, let us never give up: there are no situations which God cannot change, there is no sin which he cannot forgive if only we open ourselves to him.
Pope Francis
Image
Oh, how I would like a poor Church, and for the poor.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear parents, have great patience, and forgive from the depths of your heart.
Pope Francis
Image
Faith is professed with the lips and with the heart, through words & through love.
Pope Francis
Image
The family is the greatest treasure of any country. Let us all work to protect and strengthen this, the cornerstone of society.
Pope Francis
Image
Every threat to the family is a threat to society itself.
Pope Francis
Image
I know married Catholics in a second union who go to church, who go to church once or twice a year and say I want communion, as if joining in Communion were an award. It's a work towards integration, all doors are open, but we cannot say, 'from here on they can have communion.'
Pope Francis
Image
The family is a community of love where each of us learns to relate to others and to the world around us.
Pope Francis
Image
The Church, in her wisdom, maintains the distinction between engaged and married couples -- they are not the same, today's culture and society have become rather indifferent to the delicate and serious nature of this passage.
