Image
I'm overwhelmed by shame that the people who had the responsibility to take care of the tender ones violated that trust and caused them great pain.
Pope Francis
Image
The cry of a baby is God's voice: never drive them away from the church!
Pope Francis
Image
Let us ask the Holy Spirit for the grace to live daily according to the mind of Jesus and his Gospel.
Pope Francis
Image
How good it is for us when the Lord unsettles our lukewarm and superficial lives.
Pope Francis
Image
I know married Catholics in a second union who go to church, who go to church once or twice a year and say I want communion, as if joining in Communion were an award. It's a work towards integration, all doors are open, but we cannot say, 'from here on they can have communion.'
Pope Francis
Image
If someone is gay and is searching for the Lord and has good will, then who am I to judge him?... No one should marginalize these people for this, they must be integrated into society.
Pope Francis
Image
Peace is handcrafted. It is made every day. Also friendship among people, mutual knowledge, esteem, is handcrafted. It's made every day. Respect the other, say that which one thinks, but with respect, but walk together.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray that the Church be holier and more humble, loving God by serving the poor, the lonely and the sick.
Pope Francis
Image
How powerful prayer is! May we never lose the courage to say: Lord, give us your peace.
Pope Francis
Image
The question of truth is really a question of memory, deep memory, for it deals with something prior to ourselves and can succeed in uniting us in a way that transcends our petty and limited individual consciousness. It is a question about the origin of all that is, in whose light we can glimpse the goal and thus the meaning of our common path.
Pope Francis
Image
God never closes off horizons He is never unconcerned about the lives and sufferings of His children. God never allows Himself to be outdone in generosity.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus understands our weaknesses and sins and he forgives us if we allow ourselves to be forgiven.
Pope Francis
Image
First, we can pray in communion with the Church on earth and in heaven. Let us not underestimate the power of so many voices united in prayer!
Pope Francis
Image
A Christian is never bored or sad. Rather, the one who loves Christ is full of joy and radiates joy.
Pope Francis
Image
Our life must be centred on what is essential, on Jesus Christ. Everything else is secondary.
Pope Francis
Image
Human trafficking is a scourge, a crime against the whole of humanity. It is time to join forces and work together to free its victims and to eradicate this crime that affects all of us, from individual families to the worldwide community.
Pope Francis
Image
If we don’t think about God, everything ends up being about 'me' and my own comfort.
Pope Francis
Image
The Cross of Christ bears the suffering and the sin of mankind, including our own. Jesus accepts all this with open arms, bearing on His shoulders our crosses and saying to us: 'Have courage! You do not carry your cross alone! I carry it with you. I have overcome death and I have come to give you hope, to give you life' (John 3:16).
Pope Francis
Image
Lent is a good time for sacrificing. Let us deny ourselves something every day to help others.
Pope Francis
Image
Saints are people who belong fully to God. They are not afraid of being mocked, misunderstood or marginalized.
