Image
The family is the greatest treasure of any country. Let us all work to protect and strengthen this, the cornerstone of society.
Pope Francis
Image
If we see someone who needs help, do we stop? There is so much suffering and poverty, and a great need for good Samaritans.
Pope Francis
Image
Let love simply bloom... and it is unstoppable.
Pope Francis
Image
Being Christian without the Church doesn't make sense. That's why the great Paul VI, said that the most absurd dichotomy is loving Christ without the Church. To listen to Christ, but not the Church. To be with Christ, but stay at the margins of the Church. It's not possible. It's an absurd dichotomy.
Pope Francis
Image
I ask everyone with political responsibility to remember two things: human dignity and the common good.
Pope Francis
Image
The imbalance results from ideologies which uphold the absolute autonomy of markets and financial speculation, and thus deny the right of control to States, which are themselves charged with providing for the common good.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus receives us with all of our limitations, He bring us the mercy of the Father who forgives us, and transforms our heart, rendering it a new heart, capable of loving Him, who loved His own to the end (cf. John 13:1). And this love is manifested in his mercy. Jesus always forgives us.
Pope Francis
Image
Inconsistency on the part of pastors and the faithful between what they say and what they do, between word and manner of life, is undermining the church's credibility.
Pope Francis
Image
Negative feelings choke the Lord’s word in us.
Pope Francis
Image
I have decided to proclaim for the whole Church... a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria, the Middle East, and throughout the world, and I also invite each person, including our fellow Christians, followers of other religions and all men of good will, to participate, in whatever way they can, in this initiative.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us draw from the crib the joy and deep peace that Jesus comes to bring to the world.
Pope Francis
Image
We Christians bring peace and grace as a treasure to be offered to the world, but these gifts can bear fruit only when Christians live and work together in harmony. This makes it easier to contribute to building relations of respect and peaceful coexistence with those who belong to other religious traditions, and with non-believers.
Pope Francis
Image
Money must serve, not rule! The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but he is obliged in the name of Christ to remind all that the rich must help, respect and promote the poor. I exhort you to generous solidarity and a return of economics and finance to an ethical approach which favours human beings.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us contemplate the humility of the Son of God born into poverty. Let us imitate him by sharing with those who are weak.
Pope Francis
Image
May every Church and Christian community be a place of mercy amid so much indifference.
Pope Francis
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
Even today we raise our hand against our brother... We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.
Pope Francis
Image
The love of God is not generic. God looks with love upon every man and woman, calling them by name.
Pope Francis
Image
The goods of the earth are meant for everyone.
Pope Francis
Image
We cannot be Christians part-time. If Christ is at the center of our lives, he is present in all that we do.
