More quotes by Pope Francis
Despite the slowness, the infidelity, the errors and sins it committed and might still commit against its members, the Church, trust me, has no other meaning and goal but to live and witness Jesus.
Pope Francis
Sin, also for those who don't have faith, exists when one goes against one's conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.
Pope Francis
I have neither silver nor gold, but I bring with me the most precious thing given to me: Jesus Christ.
Pope Francis
Religious life ought to promote growth in the Church by way of attraction. The Church must be attractive. Wake up the world! Be witnesses of a different way of doing things, of acting, of living! It is possible to live differently in this world.
Pope Francis
Let us never forget that authentic power is service, which has its radiant culmination on the Cross.
Pope Francis
The two key words for the European Union are creativity and fruitfulness. That's the challenge.
Pope Francis
A Christian who does not protect Creation, who does not let it grow, is a Christian who does not care about the work of God, that work that was born from the love of God for us. And this is the first response to the first creation: protect creation, make it grow.
Pope Francis
Many of you have asked the Lord, looking at Him: Why, Lord? And the Lord answers to each one of you, to your heart, Christ responds with His heart. It's the only thing I can tell you. Let us look to Christ, He is the Lord and He understands us because He underwent all the trials that we go through.
Pope Francis
The only way to heal is to look at the Cross, to look at God Who takes upon Himself our sins: my sin is there.
Pope Francis
The times talk to us of so much poverty in the world and this is a scandal. Poverty in the world is a scandal. In a world where there is so much wealth, so many resources to feed everyone, it is unfathomable that there are so many hungry children, that there are so many children without an education, so many poor persons. Poverty today is a cry.
Pope Francis
We are all jars of clay, fragile and poor, yet we carry within us an immense treasure.
Pope Francis
At times we can be self-absorbed. Lord, help us to open our hearts to others and to serve those who are most vulnerable.
Pope Francis
Faith is professed with the lips and with the heart, through words & through love.
Pope Francis
We ask for peace and freedom for the many men and women subject to old and new forms of enslavement on the part of criminal individuals and groups.
Pope Francis
Peace is a daily commitment. It is a homemade peace.
Pope Francis
Let us never lose hope! God loves us always, even with our mistakes and sins.
Pope Francis
Today, the news is scandals, that is news, but the many children who don’t have food - that’s not news. This is grave. We can’t rest easy while things are this way.
Pope Francis
Let us keep the flame of faith alive through prayer and the sacraments: let us make sure we do not forget God.
Pope Francis
The one thing that the Catholic Church desires, and that I seek as Bishop of Rome, “the Church which presides in charity”, is communion with the Orthodox Churches.
Pope Francis
Together with the social responsibility of businesses, there is also the social responsibility of consumers. Every person ought to have the awareness that 'purchasing is always a moral-and not simply an economic-act.
Pope Francis
