Patriarch Kirill. I would prefer - because if I say one thing, I have to say another and another and another. I would prefer that what we spoke about, us, alone, will remain only what we said in public.

May every Church and Christian community be a place of mercy amid so much indifference.
Pope Francis

Man has slapped nature in the face. If you slap it, it will slap you back.

Our Christian identity is belonging to a people: the Church. Without the Church we are not Christians.
Pope Francis

Pope Francis

Dear young people, let us not be satisfied with a mediocre life. Be amazed by what is true and beautiful, what is of God!
Pope Francis

The Cross of Christ bears the suffering and the sin of mankind, including our own. Jesus accepts all this with open arms, bearing on His shoulders our crosses and saying to us: 'Have courage! You do not carry your cross alone! I carry it with you. I have overcome death and I have come to give you hope, to give you life' (John 3:16).

When you meet the needy your heart grows bigger
Pope Francis

There is the tendency to place ourselves and our ambitions at the center of our lives. This is very human, but it is not Christian.
Pope Francis

If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?
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!
