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.

More quotes by Pope Francis
Each encounter with Jesus fills us with joy, with that deep joy which only God can give.
Pope Francis
And now I would like to give the blessing, but first - first I ask a favor of you: before the Bishop blesses his people, I ask you to pray to the Lord that he will bless me: the prayer of the people asking the blessing for their Bishop.
Pope Francis
These days there is a lot of poverty in the world, and that's a scandal when we have so many riches and resources to give to everyone. We all have to think about how we can become a little poorer.
Pope Francis
We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.
Pope Francis
The confessional is not a torture chamber, but the place in which the Lord's mercy motivates us to do better.
Pope Francis
Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out? And we do not let him out because of our own need for security, because so often we are locked into ephemeral structures that serve solely to make us slaves and not free children of God.
Pope Francis
Joy adapts and changes, but it always endures, even as a flicker of light born of our personal certainty that, when everything is said and done, we are infinitely loved.
Pope Francis
The fact is that woman was taken from a rib.
Pope Francis
God does not reveal himself in strength or power, but in the weakness and fragility of a newborn babe.
Pope Francis
To live charitably means not looking out for our own interests, but carrying the burdens of the weakest and poorest among us.
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
Even today, after the second failure of another world war, perhaps one can speak of a third war, one fought piecemeal, with crimes, massacres, destruction.
Pope Francis
The mystery of the Cross, a mystery of love, can only be understood in prayer. Pray and weep, kneeling before the Cross.
Pope Francis
When we do not adore God, we adore something else. Money and power are false idols which often take the place of God.
Pope Francis
Solidarity...is a structural value of the social doctrine, as Blessed John Paul II reminded us.
Pope Francis
May God welcome the dead into his peace, comfort the families and convert the hearts of the violent ones, who do not even stop before children.
Pope Francis
More than by fear of going astray, my hope is that we will be moved by the fear of remaining shut up within structures which give us a false sense of security, within rules which make us harsh judges, within habits which make us feel safe, while at our door people are starving and Jesus does not tire of saying to us: 'Give them something to eat.'
Pope Francis
Dear young people, do not be afraid of making decisive choices in life. Have faith the Lord will not abandon you!
Pope Francis
It’s like in soccer: you have to deal with the penalties where they fall you can’t choose where they’re going to land. Life is like that, and you have to deal with it even if you don’t like it.
Pope Francis
[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.
