We cannot become starched Christians, too polite, who speak of theology calmly over tea. We have to become courageous Christians and seek out those (who need help most).

More quotes by Pope Francis
We need to be creative with young people. If they have no opportunities, they will get into drugs and be vulnerable to suicide.
Pope Francis
Gratitude is a flower that blooms in noble souls.
Pope Francis
Lent comes providentially to reawaken us, to shake us from our lethargy.
Pope Francis
I recognize that globalization has helped many people rise out of poverty, but it has also damned many others to starve to death. It is true that global wealth is growing in absolute terms, but inequalities have also grown and new poverty arisen.
Pope Francis
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
When a society lacks God, even prosperity is joined by a terrible spiritual poverty.
Pope Francis
The one who listens attentively to the Word of God and truly prays, always asks the Lord: what is your will for me?
Pope Francis
Let us not have a computer psychology that makes us think we know it all. All answers on computers - but no surprises. The challenge of love. God reveals himself through surprises.
Pope Francis
Lent is a favorable time for letting Christ serve us so that we in turn may become more like Him.
Pope Francis
If, in your relationship with the Lord, you do not feel that He loves you tenderly, you are missing something, you still have not understood what grace is, you have not yet received grace which is this closeness.
Pope Francis
Prayer, humility, and charity toward all are essential in the Christian life: they are the way to holiness.
Pope Francis
Indifference to our neighbour and to God also represents a real temptation for us Christians. Each year during Lent we need to hear once more the voice of the prophets who cry out and trouble our conscience.
Pope Francis
Let us pray for the many Christians in the world who still suffer persecution and violence. May God grant them the courage of fidelity.
Pope Francis
Jesuits make a vow of obedience to the Pope. But if the Pope is a Jesuit, perhaps he has to make a vow of obedience to the General of the Jesuits! I don’t know how to resolve this … I feel a Jesuit in my spirituality in the spirituality of the Exercises, the spirituality deep in my heart.
Pope Francis
I don’t know if it is all (man’s fault) but the majority is, for the most part, it is man who continuously slaps down nature.
Pope Francis
The life of Jesus is a life for others. It is a life of service.
Pope Francis
The fruits of this profound union with Jesus are marvelous: our whole being is transformed by the grace of the Holy Spirit: soul, intelligence, will, affections and even the body, because we are united in body and spirit.
Pope Francis
We need to proclaim the Gospel on every street corner, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing, even with our preaching, every kind of disease and wound.
Pope Francis
It is now, more than ever, necessary that political leaders be outstanding for honesty, integrity and commitment to the common good.
Pope Francis
Needing to talk badly about others indicates low self esteem. That means, 'I feel so low that instead of picking myself up, I have to cut others down.' Letting go of negative things quickly is healthy.
Pope Francis
