Christians must respond to evil with good, taking the cross upon themselves as Jesus did
Pope Francis
Image
The times talk to us of so much poverty in the world and this is a scandal. Poverty in the world is a scandal. In a world where there is so much wealth, so many resources to feed everyone, it is unfathomable that there are so many hungry children, that there are so many children without an education, so many poor persons. Poverty today is a cry.
Pope Francis
Image
Religious life ought to promote growth in the Church by way of attraction. The Church must be attractive. Wake up the world! Be witnesses of a different way of doing things, of acting, of living! It is possible to live differently in this world.
Pope Francis

My people are poor and I am one of them.
Pope Francis

Before God and his people I express my sorrow for the sins and grave crimes of clerical sexual abuse committed against you. And I humbly ask forgiveness.
Pope Francis

Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God.
Pope Francis
Image
If we don’t think about God, everything ends up being about 'me' and my own comfort.
Pope Francis

A person who is not convinced, enthusiastic, certain and in love, will convince nobody.
Pope Francis

If you don’t learn how to cry, you cannot be a good Christian. When they posed this question to us – why children suffer, why this or that tragedy occurs in life – our response must be either silence or a word that is born of our tears. Be courageous, don’t be afraid to cry.
Pope Francis
Image
As Christians, our duty is to pray for them and ask the Lord to give them the grace of penance, so that they don't die with a corrupt heart, because otherwise the dogs of hell will take their blood.
Pope Francis
Image
It is by God’s mercy that we are saved. May we never tire of spreading this joyful message to the world.
Pope Francis
Image
But always think this: do not be afraid of failure. Do not be afraid of falling. In the art of walking, what is important is not avoiding the fall but not remaining fallen.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us always pray for one another.
Pope Francis
Image
How powerful prayer is! May we never lose the courage to say: Lord, give us your peace.
Pope Francis
Image
Proselytism is solemn nonsense, it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us.
Pope Francis
Image
Sin is not a stain that I must wash out. What I need to do is ask forgiveness and reconcile myself, not go to the drycleaners. I have to go encounter Jesus who gave his life for me.
Pope Francis
Image
Today Saint Paul has told us that in Christ we have become God’s adopted children, brothers and sisters in Christ. This is who we are. This is our identity.
Pope Francis
Image
I ask all people of goodwill to help build a culture of encounter, solidarity and peace
