Pope Francis
Image
This is precisely the reason for the dissatisfaction of some, who end up sad - sad priests - in some sense becoming collectors of antiques or novelties, instead of being shepherds living with 'the odor of the sheep.' This I ask you: Be shepherds, with the 'odor of the sheep,' make it real, as shepherds among your flock, fishers of men.
Pope Francis
Image
The culture of comfort, which makes us think only of ourselves, makes us insensitive to the cries of other people.
Pope Francis
Image
There is so much indifference in the face of suffering. May we overcome indifference with concrete acts of charity.
Pope Francis
Image
God always has patience.
Pope Francis
Image
We are called to be 'ambassadors for Christ' (2 Cor 5:20). Ours is a ministry of reconciliation ... To be an ambassador for Christ means above all to invite everyone to a renewed personal encounter with the Lord Jesus.
