Pope Francis
Image
Human life, the person is no longer perceived as a primary value to be respected and protected, especially if poor or disabled, if not yet useful - such as the unborn child - or no longer needed - such as the elderly.
Pope Francis
Image
We who are Christians, members of God’s family, are called to go out to the needy and to serve them.
Pope Francis
Image
With God, nothing is lost but without him, everything is lost.
Pope Francis
Image
If you withdraw into yourself, you run the risk of becoming egocentric. And stagnant water becomes putrid.
Pope Francis
Image
I ask you to ensure that humanity is served by wealth, and not ruled by it.
