Quote

Jesus speaks in the silence of the mystery of the Eucharist and reminds us each time that following him means going out of ourselves and making our lives not something we 'possess,' but a gift to him and to others.

Don't confuse the evil of avoiding pregnancy by itself, with abortion.
Pope Francis
Image
Humanity needs to see these gestures of peace and to hear words of hope and peace!
Pope Francis
Image
In a very real way, the poor are our teachers. They show us that people’s value is not measured by their possessions or how much money they have in the bank. A poor person, a person lacking material possessions, always maintains his or her dignity. The poor can teach us much about humility and trust in God.
Pope Francis
Image
Many powerful people don't want peace, because they live off war.
Pope Francis
Image
The human person is in danger: this is certain, the human person is in danger today, here is the urgency of human ecology! And it is a serious danger because the cause of the problem is not superficial but profound: it is not just a matter of economics, but of ethics and anthropology.

If we are truly in love with Christ and if we sense how much he loves us, our heart will 'light up' with a joy that spreads to everyone around us.
Pope Francis
Image
Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor.
Pope Francis
Image
If the Christian is a restorationist, a legalist, if he wants everything clear and safe, then he will find nothing. Tradition and memory of the past must help us to have the courage to open up new areas to God.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray for the many Christians in the world who still suffer persecution and violence. May God grant them the courage of fidelity.
Pope Francis
Image
Total openness to serving others is our hallmark, it alone is our title of honour!
Pope Francis
Image
The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth. In many parts of the planet, the elderly lament that once beautiful landscapes are now covered with rubbish.
Pope Francis

Racism today is the ultimate evil in the world
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus is the sun and Mary is the dawn announcing his rising.
Pope Francis
Image
Take good care of creation. St. Francis wanted that. People occasionally forgive, but nature never does. If we don't take care of the environment, there's no way of getting around it.
Pope Francis
Image
If we are to know the Lord, we must go to Him. Listen to Him in silence before the Tabernacle and approach Him in the Sacraments.
