Quote

The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. Those who accept His offer of salvation are set free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness, and loneliness. With Christ joy is constantly born anew.

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
To protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to look upon them with tenderness and love is to open up a horizon of hope.
Pope Francis
Image
Lord, help us to live the virtue of generosity, to love without limits.
Pope Francis
Image
Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God's creation, made in his own image, destined to live for ever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.
Pope Francis
Image
The fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts, especially in its causes.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence, let us never give up: there are no situations which God cannot change, there is no sin which he cannot forgive if only we open ourselves to him.
Pope Francis
Image
An example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock it's beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth... Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them.
Pope Francis
Image
I want to see the church get closer to the people. I want to get rid of clericalism, the mundane, this closing ourselves off within ourselves, in our parishes, schools or structures. Because these need to get out!
Pope Francis
Image
Oh, how I would like a poor Church, and for the poor.
Pope Francis
Image
The Lord speaks to us through the Scriptures and in our prayer. Let us learn to keep silence before him, as we meditate upon the Gospel.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
Today is the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. Let us work and pray.
Pope Francis
Image
I had the habit of not accepting prizes or honors, but always, not out of humility, but because I don't like them. Maybe it's a little crazy, but it's good to have it, but I just don't like them.
Pope Francis
Image
Being Christian without the Church doesn't make sense. That's why the great Paul VI, said that the most absurd dichotomy is loving Christ without the Church. To listen to Christ, but not the Church. To be with Christ, but stay at the margins of the Church. It's not possible. It's an absurd dichotomy.
Pope Francis
Image
Our efforts must aim at restoring hope, righting wrongs, maintaining commitments, and thus promoting the well-being of individuals and of peoples.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, always be missionaries of the Gospel, every day and in every place.
Pope Francis
Image
The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! 'Father, the atheists?' Even the atheists. Everyone!
Pope Francis
Image
Life is a precious gift, but we realize this only when we give it to others.
Pope Francis
Image
The cry of a baby is God's voice: never drive them away from the church!
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus is the sun and Mary is the dawn announcing his rising.
