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
We pray for the many brothers and sisters who seek refuge far from their native lands, who seek a home where they can live without fear: that they might always be respected in their dignity.
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

Obeying God is listening to God, having an open heart to follow the path that God points out to us.
Pope Francis
Image
There are people who are afraid to go to confession, forgetting that they will not encounter a severe judge there, but the immensely merciful Father.
Pope Francis
Image
Proselytism is solemn nonsense, it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us.
Pope Francis
Image
When one lives attached to money, pride or power, it is impossible to be truly happy.
Pope Francis
Image
Confession is the sacrament of the tenderness of God, his way of embracing us.
Pope Francis
