There is never a reason to lose hope. Jesus says: “I am with you until the end of the world.
Pope Francis

As Christians, our duty is to pray for them and ask the Lord to give them the grace of penance, so that they don't die with a corrupt heart, because otherwise the dogs of hell will take their blood.
Pope Francis

Say no to an ephemeral, superficial and throwaway culture, a culture that assumes that you are incapable of taking on responsibility and facing the great challenges of life!
Pope Francis

The church does not need apologists of its causes nor crusaders of its battles, but sowers humble and confident of the truth, who ... trust of its power
Pope Francis

Pope Francis
Image
The Lord put it clearly: you cannot serve two masters. You have to choose between God and money.
Pope Francis

The Holy Spirit truly transforms us. With our cooperation, he also wants to transform the world we live in.
Pope Francis
Image
We ought never to lose hope. God overwhelms us with his grace, if we keep asking.
Pope Francis
Image
I do not believe it is right to identify Islam with violence. This is not right or true.
Pope Francis
Image
Worshipping is stripping ourselves of our idols, even the most hidden ones, and choosing the Lord as the centre, as the highway of our lives.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us protect Christ in our lives, so that we can protect others, so that we can protect creation!
Pope Francis
Image
You just can’t say that, just as you can’t say that all Christians are fundamentalists. We have our share of them (fundamentalists). All religions have these little groups.
Pope Francis
Image
You cannot be a conscious Christian without St. Paul. He translated the teachings of Christ into a doctrinal structure that, even with the additions of a vast number of thinkers, theologians and pastors, has resisted and still exists after two thousand years.
Pope Francis

In God’s great plan, every detail is important, even yours, even my humble little witness, even the hidden witness of those who live their faith with simplicity in everyday family relationships, work relationships, friendships. There are the saints of every day, the “hidden” saints, a sort of “middle class of holiness” to which we can all belong.
