More quotes by Pope Francis
Charity, patience and tenderness are very beautiful gifts. If you have them, you want to share them with others.
Pope Francis
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
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
Working for a just distribution of the fruits of the earth and human labor is not mere philanthropy. It is a moral obligation.
Pope Francis
I already knew about this friendship between St. John Paul II and this philosopher [Ana Teresa Tymieniecka] when I was in Buenos Aires. It was known. Also her books are known.
Pope Francis
The great biblical tradition enjoins on all peoples the duty to hear the voice of the poor. It bids us break the bonds of injustice and oppression which give rise to glaring, and indeed scandalous, social inequalities.
Pope Francis
The parish is the presence of the Church in any given territory, an environment for hearing God's word, for growth in Christian life, for dialogue, proclamation, charitable outreach, worship and celebration.
Pope Francis
Consumerism has brought us anxiety. Set aside time to play with your children, and turn off the TV when they sit down to eat.
Pope Francis
Once capital becomes an idol and guides people's decisions, once greed for money presides over the entire socioeconomic system, it ruins society, it condemns and enslaves men and women, it destroys human fraternity, it sets people against one another and it even puts at risk our common home.
Pope Francis
Certainly, possessions, money, and power can give a momentary thrill, the illusion of being happy, but they end up possessing us and making us always want to have more, never satisfied. ‘Put on Christ’ in your life, place your trust in him, and you will never be disappointed!
Pope Francis
Let's pray for whole world that there be brotherhood. I hope this journey of the church we begin today is fruitful for evangelization.
Pope Francis
Fathers are so necessary as examples and guides for our children in wisdom and virtue. Without father figures, young people often feel orphaned left adrift at a critical moment in their growth and development.
Pope Francis
The Pope doesn't get mixed up in Italian politics.
Pope Francis
I'm overwhelmed by shame that the people who had the responsibility to take care of the tender ones violated that trust and caused them great pain.
Pope Francis
The imposition of anomalous models and lifestyles are alien to people's identity and, in the end, are irresponsible.
Pope Francis
We need to 'go out,' then, in order to experience our own anointing, its power and its redemptive efficacy: to the 'outskirts' where there is suffering, bloodshed, blindness that longs for sight, and prisoners in thrall to many evil masters.
Pope Francis
The Church is called to draw near to every person, beginning with the poorest and those who suffer.
Pope Francis
Even today, after the second failure of another world war, perhaps one can speak of a third war, one fought piecemeal, with crimes, massacres, destruction.
Pope Francis
Together with a culture of work, there must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport.
Pope Francis
It's not a problem that we're sinners it's a problem that we aren't ashamed of our sin and don't seek forgiveness.
Pope Francis
