More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
[Joseph Ratzinger] is a man who as the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith had everything in his hands. He conducted all the investigations, and went on, went on, went on, until he couldn't go any further in the execution.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, do not give up your dreams of a more just world!
Pope Francis
Image
The secret of Christian living is love. Only love fills the empty spaces caused by evil.
Pope Francis
Image
Lent comes providentially to reawaken us, to shake us from our lethargy.
Pope Francis
Image
When we meet a person truly in need, do we see the face of God?
Pope Francis
Image
Let us leave a spare place at our table: a place for those who lack the basics, who are alone.
Pope Francis
Image
The times talk to us of so much poverty in the world and this is a scandal. Poverty in the world is a scandal. In a world where there is so much wealth, so many resources to feed everyone, it is unfathomable that there are so many hungry children, that there are so many children without an education, so many poor persons. Poverty today is a cry.
Pope Francis
Image
Oh, how I would like a poor Church, and for the poor.
Pope Francis
Image
This generation, and many others, have been led to believe that the devil is a myth, a figure, an idea, the idea of evil... But the devil exists and we must fight against him.
Pope Francis
Image
It does not render justice to the victims, but rather fosters vengeance.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, Jesus gives us life, life in abundance. If we are close to him we will have joy in our hearts and a smile on our face.
Pope Francis
Image
In this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.
Pope Francis
Image
The cross of Christ, embraced with love, never brings sadness with it, but joy, the joy of being saved and of doing a little of what he did on the day of his death.
Pope Francis
Image
I would like to ask you a question: how many of you pray to the Holy Spirit every day? Probably few, but we must satisfy this desire of Jesus and pray every day to the Holy Spirit, so that he opens our heart towards Jesus.
Pope Francis
Image
So many of you have lost everything. I do not know what to tell you. But surely he knows what to tell you! So many of you have lost members of your family. I can only be silent I accompany you silently, with my heart...
Pope Francis
Image
But always think this: do not be afraid of failure. Do not be afraid of falling. In the art of walking, what is important is not avoiding the fall but not remaining fallen.
Pope Francis
Image
The Gospel, radiant with the glory of Christ’s cross, constantly invites us to rejoice.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us ask Mary to help us fix our eyes intently on Jesus, to follow him always, even when this is demanding.
Pope Francis
Image
Christian love is loving without counting the cost. This is the lesson of the Good Samaritan this is the lesson of Jesus.
Pope Francis
Image
The family is where we are formed as people. Every family is a brick in the building of society
