Please waste time just playing with your kids!
Pope Francis
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
We are called to live our baptism every day, as new creatures, clothed in Christ.
Pope Francis
Too often we participate in the globalization of indifference. May we strive instead to live global solidarity.
Pope Francis
Let us say Yes to life and not death. Let us say Yes to freedom and not enslavement to the many idols of our time. In a word, let us say Yes to the God who is love, life and freedom, and who never disappoints.
Pope Francis
States kill when they apply the death penalty, when they send their people to war, or when they carry out extra-judicial or summary executions. They can also kill by omission, when they fail to guarantee to their people access to the bare essentials for life.
Pope Francis
Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God.
Pope Francis
Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out? And we do not let him out because of our own need for security, because so often we are locked into ephemeral structures that serve solely to make us slaves and not free children of God.
Pope Francis
Let us pray that the Church be holier and more humble, loving God by serving the poor, the lonely and the sick.
Pope Francis
Imagine, to become a priest there are eight years of study and preparation, and then if after a while you can't do it, you can ask for a dispensation, you leave, and everything is OK.
Pope Francis
Don't confuse the evil of avoiding pregnancy by itself, with abortion.
Pope Francis
Peace is always possible but we have to seek it. Let us pray for peace.
Pope Francis
Each person, and every people hungers and thirsts for peace therefore, it is necessary and urgent to build peace!
Pope Francis
The Lord always grants more than what he has been asked: you ask him to remember you, and he brings you into his Kingdom!
Pope Francis
May the power of Christ, which brings freedom and service, be felt in so many hearts afflicted by war, persecution and slavery.
Pope Francis
Created half to rise, and half to fall Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!
Pope Francis
Proclaim the beauty and truth of the Christian message to a society which is tangent by confusing presentations of sexuality, marriage and the family.
Pope Francis
Tell me, when you give alms do you look into the eyes of the man or woman to whom you give alms? . . . And when you give alms, do you touch the hand of the one to whom you give alms, or do you toss the coin?
Pope Francis
Solidarity...is a structural value of the social doctrine, as Blessed John Paul II reminded us.
Pope Francis
Gratitude is a flower that blooms in noble souls.
Pope Francis
