Image
I see the church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars. You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else.
Pope Francis
Image
All political activity must serve and promote the good of the human person and be based on respect for his or her dignity.
Pope Francis
Image
If we don’t think about God, everything ends up being about 'me' and my own comfort.
Pope Francis
Image
By saying blessed are those who mourn, Jesus does not intend to declare an unfortunate and burdensome condition in life to be happy. Suffering is not a value in itself, but a reality that Jesus teaches us to live with the correct attitude.
Pope Francis
Image
There are the saints of every day, the 'hidden' saints, a sort of 'middle class of holiness'... to which we can all belong.
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
Do we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit, so as to be an active part of our communities, or do we close in on ourselves, saying 'I have so many things to do, that's not my job'?
Pope Francis
Image
I ask everyone with political responsibility to remember two things: human dignity and the common good.
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
Let us always pray for one another.
Pope Francis
Image
There is so much noise in the world! May we learn to be silent in our hearts and before God.
Pope Francis
Image
Today is my anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. Please pray for me and all priests.
Pope Francis
Image
The poor is the center of the Gospel. If we take out the poor, we cannot understand the message of Christ
Pope Francis
Image
Being a Christian means renouncing ourselves, taking up the cross and carrying it with Jesus. There is no other way.
Pope Francis
Image
A society which abandons children and the elderly severs its roots and darkens its future.
Pope Francis
Image
Every time we judge our brother in our hearts or worse when we speak badly of them with others, we are murdering Christians.
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
It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one.
Pope Francis
Image
Amid so many problems, even grave, may we not lose our hope in the infinite mercy of God.
Pope Francis
Image
Your sins are great? Just tell the Lord: Forgive me, help me to get up again, change my heart!
