Image
Let us draw from the crib the joy and deep peace that Jesus comes to bring to the world.
Pope Francis
Image
A poverty learned with the humble, the poor, the sick and all those who are on the existential outskirts of life. A theoretical poverty is no use to us. Poverty is learned by touching the flesh of the poor Christ, in the humble, in the poor, in the sick and in children.
Pope Francis
Image
Seeking happiness in material things is a sure way of being unhappy.
Pope Francis
Image
The Eucharist, although it is the fullness of sacramental life, is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak.
Pope Francis
Image
I asked [Guadalupe] for the world, for peace, so many things. I asked forgiveness, I asked that the Church grows healthy, I asked for the Mexican people. And another thing I asked a lot for: that priests be true priests, and sisters true sisters, and bishops true bishops. As the Lord wants.
Pope Francis
Image
Only by becoming poor ourselves, by stripping away our complacency, will we be able to identify with the least of our brothers and sisters.
Pope Francis
Image
I do not believe it is right to identify Islam with violence. This is not right or true.
Pope Francis
Image
For her part, the Church always works for the integral development of every person. In this sense, she reiterates that the common good should not be simply an extra, simply a conceptual scheme of inferior quality tacked onto political programmes. The Church encourages those in power to be truly at the service of the common good of their peoples.
Pope Francis
Image
The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth. In many parts of the planet, the elderly lament that once beautiful landscapes are now covered with rubbish.
Pope Francis
Image
Accompanying the people in their growth through good times and also through their difficulties, accompanying people in their joy and in their bad moments, in their difficulties when there is no work, ill health and the challenge of the Church.
Pope Francis
Image
If we don’t think about God, everything ends up being about 'me' and my own comfort.
Pope Francis
Image
What God cares about most is that we are His friends.
Pope Francis
Image
There is so much noise in the world! May we learn to be silent in our hearts and before God.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
Religious freedom is a fundamental human right.
Pope Francis
Image
My people are poor and I am one of them.
Pope Francis
Image
A fundamental role in the renewal of society is played, of course, by the family and especially by young people.
Pope Francis
Image
Total openness to serving others is our hallmark, it alone is our title of honour!
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray for all good and faithful priests who dedicate themselves to their people with generosity and unknown sacrifices.
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
