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
I try to lead a life where I don't have to ask God for forgiveness.
Pope Francis
Don't confuse the evil of avoiding pregnancy by itself, with abortion. Abortion is not a theological problem, it is a human problem, it is a medical problem. You kill one person to save another, in the best case scenario.
Pope Francis
Saints are people who belong fully to God. They are not afraid of being mocked, misunderstood or marginalized.
Pope Francis
It is a mortal sin to discard the elderly.
Pope Francis
When we do not adore God, we adore something else. Money and power are false idols which often take the place of God.
Pope Francis
I think with great affection and deep gratitude of my venerable predecessor, Benedict XVI, who during these years of his pontificate has enriched and strengthened the Church with his teaching, his goodness, his guidance, his faith, his humility, and his gentleness, which will remain a spiritual heritage for all.
Pope Francis
Our Lady is always close to us, especially when we feel the weight of life with all its problems
Pope Francis
The great challenge facing us today is to learn once again how to talk to one another, not simply how to generate and consume information.
Pope Francis
Our life must be centred on what is essential, on Jesus Christ. Everything else is secondary.
Pope Francis
While all too many people live in dire poverty, others are caught up in materialism and lifestyles which are destructive of family life and the most basic demands of Christian morality.
Pope Francis
Accompanying the people in their growth through good times and also through their difficulties, accompanying people in their joy and in their bad moments, in their difficulties when there is no work, ill health and the challenge of the Church.
Pope Francis
I tell priests to flee from clericalism because clericalism distances people. May they flee from clericalism and I add: it's a plague in the Church.
Pope Francis
The family is where we are formed as people. Every family is a brick in the building of society
Pope Francis
Today everything comes under the laws of competition and the survival of the fittest, where the powerful feed upon the powerless. As a consequence, masses of people find themselves excluded and marginalized: without work, without possibilities, without any means of escape.
Pope Francis
In a family, parents, grandparents and children feel at home no one is excluded. If someone has a problem, even a serious one, even if he brought it upon himself, the rest of the family comes to his assistance they support him. ... Should the same not happen in society?
Pope Francis
Let us be protectors of all of Gods Creatures
Pope Francis
Holy Mother Church teaches us to end the year and also our days with an examination of conscience...to be grateful and to ask for forgiveness.
Pope Francis
To change the world we must be good to those who cannot repay us.
Pope Francis
If we live according to the law an eye for an eye..., we will never escape from the spiral of evil.
Pope Francis
The fact is that woman was taken from a rib.
Pope Francis
