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
Image
The root of this possibility of doing good - that we all have - is in creation.
Pope Francis
Image
I sincerely hope I can contribute to the progress there has been in relations between Jews and Catholics since the Second Vatican Council in a spirit of renewed collaboration.
Pope Francis
Image
Some people believe that - pardon my language - in order to be good Catholics, we should be like rabbits. No.
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
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
Image
Humanity needs justice, peace and love and we can have this only by returning with our hearts towards God who is the source of all this.

It is important to integrate immigrants into society and to welcome them in the church community
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, Jesus wants to be your friend, and wants you to spread the joy of this friendship everywhere.
Pope Francis
Image
Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare.
Pope Francis
Image
Not to share one’s goods with the poor is to rob them and to deprive them of life. It is not our goods that we possess, but theirs.
Pope Francis
Image
No act of virtue can be great if it is not followed by advantage for others. So, no matter how much time you spend fasting, no matter how much you sleep on a hard floor and eat ashes and sigh continually, if you do no good to others, you do nothing great.
Pope Francis
Image
It also happens to me that when I meet a clericalist, I suddenly become anti-clerical. Clericalism should not have anything to do with Christianity. St. Paul, who was the first to speak to the Gentiles, the pagans, to believers in other religions, was the first to teach us that.
Pope Francis
Image
May we learn to say “thank you” to God and to one another. We teach children to do it, and then we forget to do it ourselves!
Pope Francis
Image
With God, nothing is lost but without him, everything is lost.
Pope Francis
Image
A poverty learned with the humble, the poor, the sick and all those who are on the existential outskirts of life. A theoretical poverty is no use to us. Poverty is learned by touching the flesh of the poor Christ, in the humble, in the poor, in the sick and in children.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us contemplate the humility of the Son of God born into poverty. Let us imitate him by sharing with those who are weak.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
Throwing away food is like stealing from the table of those who are poor and hungry.
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.
