Needing to talk badly about others indicates low self esteem. That means, 'I feel so low that instead of picking myself up, I have to cut others down.' Letting go of negative things quickly is healthy.

More quotes by Pope Francis
Our Christian identity is belonging to a people: the Church. Without the Church we are not Christians.
Pope Francis
When families bring children into the world, train them in faith and sound values, and teach them to contribute to society, they become a blessing in our world.
Pope Francis
Consumerism has led us to become used to an excess and daily waste of food, to which, at times, we are no longer able to give a just value, which goes well beyond mere economic parameters. We should all remember, however, that throwing food away is like stealing from the tables of the the poor, the hungry!
Pope Francis
The world makes us look towards ourselves, our possessions, our desires.The Gospel invites us to be open to others, to share with the poor.
Pope Francis
The time has come for the Church to take up the joyful call to mercy once more. It is time to return to the basics and to bear the weaknesses and struggles of our brothers and sisters. Mercy is the force that reawakens us to new life and instils in us the courage to look to the future with hope.
Pope Francis
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
We also try to reach out to people who are far away, via digital means, the web and brief messaging.
Pope Francis
Many people who are forced into emigration suffer and often die tragically many of their rights are violated, they are obliged to separate from their families and, unfortunately, continue to be subjected to racist attitudes and xenophobia.
Pope Francis
To follow Jesus means putting him first, and stripping ourselves of all the things that oppress our hearts.
Pope Francis
My people are poor and I am one of them.
Pope Francis
It means caring for one another in our families: husbands and wives first protect one another, and then, as parents, they care for their children, and children themselves, in time, protect their parents.
Pope Francis
We are all jars of clay, fragile and poor, yet we carry within us an immense treasure.
Pope Francis
Let yourselves be led by the Holy Spirit, with freedom and, please, do not cage the Holy Spirit
Pope Francis
I know married Catholics in a second union who go to church, who go to church once or twice a year and say I want communion, as if joining in Communion were an award. It's a work towards integration, all doors are open, but we cannot say, 'from here on they can have communion.'
Pope Francis
Jesus teaches us to put the needs of the poor ahead of our own, our needs, even if legitimate, will never be so urgent as those of the poor, who lack the necessities of life.
Pope Francis
Workers should have Sundays off because Sunday is for the family. Calling for Sundays to be a holiday.
Pope Francis
In a family it is normal to take charge of those who need help. Do not be afraid of frailty!
Pope Francis
In the poor and outcast we see Christ’s face by loving and helping the poor, we love and serve Christ.
Pope Francis
Education, work, and access to health care for all are key elements for development and the just distribution of goods, for the attainment of social justice, for membership in society, and for free and responsible participation in political life.
Pope Francis
Lent is a time of grace, a time to convert and live out our baptism fully.
Pope Francis
