More quotes by Pope Francis
Many of you have asked the Lord, looking at Him: Why, Lord? And the Lord answers to each one of you, to your heart, Christ responds with His heart. It's the only thing I can tell you. Let us look to Christ, He is the Lord and He understands us because He underwent all the trials that we go through.
Pope Francis
The Corrupt should be tied to a rock & thrown into the sea
Pope Francis
Why are deadly weapons being sold to those who plan to inflict untold suffering on individuals and society? Sadly, the answer, as we all know, is simply for money: money that is drenched in blood, often innocent blood. In the face of this shameful and culpable silence, it is our duty to confront the problem and to stop the arms trade.
Pope Francis
We have to find a new balance otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel.
Pope Francis
Since many of you do not belong to the Catholic Church and others are non-believers, from the bottom of my heart I give this silent blessing to each and every one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you but knowing that each one of you is a child of God.
Pope Francis
Charity that does not change the situation of the poor isn't enough.
Pope Francis
Being a Christian is not just about following commandments: it is about letting Christ take possession of our lives and transform them.
Pope Francis
Such self-denial 'may appear demanding,' but it will allow you, so to speak, to be and to breathe within the heart of the church.
Pope Francis
If we want security, let us give security if we want life, let us give life if we want opportunities, let us provide opportunities. The yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us.
Pope Francis
If Jesus is to become the center of our life, we need to spend time in His presence, before the Tabernacle.
Pope Francis
You have a specific and important mission, that of keeping alive the relationship between the faith and the cultures of the peoples to whom you belong. . . . [W]e have to follow Christ along the concrete path of our daily lives so that he can transform us.
Pope Francis
The family is the greatest treasure of any country. Let us all work to protect and strengthen this, the cornerstone of society.
Pope Francis
God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.
Pope Francis
Charity, patience and tenderness are very beautiful gifts. If you have them, you want to share them with others.
Pope Francis
A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.
Pope Francis
I cannot live without people. I need to live my life with others.
Pope Francis
Today is my anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. Please pray for me and all priests.
Pope Francis
I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person's life. God is in everyone's life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else - God is in this person's life. You can - you must - try to seek God in every human life.
Pope Francis
We are called to reach out to those who find themselves in the existential peripheries of our societies and to show particular solidarity with the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters: the poor, the disabled, the unborn and the sick, migrants and refugees, the elderly and the young who lack employment.
Pope Francis
One cannot offend, make war, kill in the name of one's own religion, that is, in the name of God.
Pope Francis
