We cannot give up in the face of evil. God is Love and he has defeated evil through Christ’s death and resurrection.
Pope Francis
Image
It seems that humanity is incapable of putting a halt to the shedding of innocent blood.
Pope Francis
Image
Human trafficking is a crime against humanity. We must unite our efforts to free the victims and stop this increasingly aggressive crime which threatens not only individuals but the basic values of society.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us never lose hope! God loves us always, even with our mistakes and sins.
Pope Francis
Image
To understand one another, and to grow in charity and truth, we need to pause, to accept and listen to one another. In this way we already begin to experience unity. Unity grows along the way, it never stands still. Unity happens when we walk together.
Pope Francis
Image
Every Christian can witness to God in the workplace, not only with words, but above all with an honest life.
Pope Francis
Image
If priest is closed to forgiveness, he won't receive it, because he locked the door from the inside. And what remains is to pray for the Lord to open that door. To forgive you must be willing. But not everyone can receive or know how to receive it, or are just not willing to receive it.
Pope Francis
Image
Today in many places we hear a call for greater security. But until exclusion and inequality in society and between peoples is reversed, it will be impossible to eliminate violence.
Pope Francis
Image
In a word: charity cannot be neutral, antiseptic, indifferent, lukewarm or impartial! Charity is infectious, it excites, it risks and it engages! For true charity is always unmerited, unconditional and gratuitous!
Pope Francis
Image
A poverty learned with the humble, the poor, the sick and all those who are on the existential outskirts of life. A theoretical poverty is no use to us. Poverty is learned by touching the flesh of the poor Christ, in the humble, in the poor, in the sick and in children.
Pope Francis
Image
There is an ideological colonization we have to be careful of that tries to destroy the family.
Pope Francis
Image
I have neither silver nor gold, but I bring with me the most precious thing given to me: Jesus Christ.
Pope Francis
Image
Fasting makes sense if it really chips away at our security and, as a consequence, benefits someone else, if it helps us cultivate the style of the good Samaritan, who bent down to his brother in need and took care of him.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us protect Christ in our lives, so that we can protect others, so that we can protect creation!
Pope Francis
Image
The challenge of life is to learn how to love
Pope Francis
Image
The Earth is our environment to protect and the garden to tend to.
Pope Francis
Image
I like to say that women are those who form life in their wombs - and this is a comparison I make - they have this charism of giving you things you can build with.
Pope Francis
Image
Our infinite sadness can only be cured by an infinite love.
Pope Francis
Image
I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security.
Pope Francis

As always, the ones who aren't saints make the most noise...a single tree falling makes a sound, but a whole forest growing doesn't.
