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.

More quotes by Pope Francis
A Senate vote on gay marriage is a destructive pretension against the plan of God
Pope Francis
Violence and war lead only to death.
Pope Francis
Fathers are so necessary as examples and guides for our children in wisdom and virtue. Without father figures, young people often feel orphaned left adrift at a critical moment in their growth and development.
Pope Francis
Perhaps I can say that I am a bit astute, that I can adapt to circumstances, but it is also true that I am a bit naive. Yes, but the best summary, the one that comes more from the inside and I feel most true is this: I am a sinner whom the Lord has looked upon.
Pope Francis
An authentic faith-which is never comfortable or completely personal-always involves a deep desire to change the world, to transmit values, to leave this earth somehow better than we found it.
Pope Francis
I say only that this man [Donald Trump] is not Christian if he has said things like that [about wall]. We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt.
Pope Francis
Prayer, humility, and charity toward all are essential in the Christian life: they are the way to holiness.
Pope Francis
Politics is noble it is one of the highest forms of charity, as Paul VI used to say. We sully it when we mix it with business. The relationship between the Church and political power can also be corrupted if common good is not the only converging point.
Pope Francis
The great danger in today's world, pervaded as it is by consumerism, is the desolation and anguish born of a complacent yet covetous heart, the feverish pursuit of frivolous pleasures, and a blunted conscience. Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor.
Pope Francis
The fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts, especially in its causes.
Pope Francis
The Eucharist, although it is the fullness of sacramental life, is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak.
Pope Francis
Every child that isn't born, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of Jesus Christ, has the face of the Lord.
Pope Francis
The Sacraments are the manifestation of the Father’s tenderness and love towards each of us.
Pope Francis
Take good care of creation. St. Francis wanted that. People occasionally forgive, but nature never does. If we don't take care of the environment, there's no way of getting around it.
Pope Francis
Brothers and sisters, good evening. You all know that the duty of the conclave was to give a bishop to Rome. It seems that my brother cardinals have gone almost to the ends of the earth to get him... but here we are.
Pope Francis
Holy Week is a privileged time when we are called to draw near to Jesus: friendship with him is shown in times of difficulty.
Pope Francis
The charismatics confused the holy liturgy with a school of samba, but than I was converted when I got to know them better and saw the good they do.
Pope Francis
The imbalance results from ideologies which uphold the absolute autonomy of markets and financial speculation, and thus deny the right of control to States, which are themselves charged with providing for the common good.
Pope Francis
There are martyrs [between Mexican people], now I will canonize two. It is a population that you can't explain, you can't explain it because the word 'people' is not a logical category, it's a mythical category.
Pope Francis
Are we ready to be Christians full-time, showing our commitment by word and deed?
Pope Francis
