Let us draw from the crib the joy and deep peace that Jesus comes to bring to the world.
Pope Francis

The growth of equality… calls for decisions, mechanisms and processes directed to a better distribution of wealth, the creation of sources of employment and an integral promotion of the poor, which goes beyond a simple welfare mentality.
Pope Francis
Image
It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one.
Pope Francis
Image
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

Do I guard myself, my heart, my feelings, my thoughts? Do I guard the treasure of grace? Do I guard the presence of the Holy Spirit in me? Or do I let go, feeling secure, believing that all is going well?
Pope Francis
Image
Inconsistency on the part of pastors and the faithful between what they say and what they do, between word and manner of life, is undermining the church's credibility.
Pope Francis

The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but the Pope has the duty, in Christ's name, to remind the rich to help the poor, to respect them, to promote them.
Pope Francis

We cannot become starched Christians, too polite, who speak of theology calmly over tea. We have to become courageous Christians and seek out those (who need help most).
Pope Francis
Image
I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance, says Jesus. This is where true wealth is found, not in material things!
Pope Francis
Image
Trust in the power of Christ’s Cross! Receive his reconciling grace and share it!
Pope Francis
Image
How many young people among you are like this? You know how to give and yet you have ever learned how to receive. You still lack one thing. Become a beggar. This is what you still lack. Learn how to beg. This isn’t easy to understand. To learn how to beg. To learn how to receive with humility.
Pope Francis
Image
God's love is unbounded. It has no limits.
Pope Francis
Image
We are called to live our baptism every day, as new creatures, clothed in Christ.
Pope Francis
Image
Every Catholic parliamentarian must vote according their well-formed conscience. I would say just this. I believe it is sufficient because - I say well-formed because it is not the conscience of 'what seems to me.'
Pope Francis
Image
Terrorism is everywhere. You think of the tribal terrorism of some African countries.
Pope Francis
Image
The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.
Pope Francis
Image
Yet only when we come to understand, in the light of the Cross, the evil we are capable of, and have even been a part of, can we experience true remorse and true repentance.
Pope Francis
Image
The key that opens the door to the faith is prayer.
Pope Francis

Are we ready to be Christians full-time, showing our commitment by word and deed?
Pope Francis

Wine is a sign of happiness, love and plenty, how many of our adolescents and young people sense that these are no longer found in their homes? How many women, sad and lonely, wonder when love left, when it slipped away from their lives? How many elderly people feel left out of family celebrations, cast aside and longing each day for a little love?
