Image
Terrorism grows when there are no other options, and when the center of the global economy is the god of money and not the person - men and women - this is already the first terrorism!
Pope Francis
Image
God asks everything of us, yet at the same time he offers everything to us.
Pope Francis
Image
To be an ambassador for Christ means to invite everyone to a personal encounter with Jesus
Pope Francis
Image
Like Mary, may we nurture the light born within us at Christmas. May we carry it everywhere in our daily lives.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
I recognize that globalization has helped many people rise out of poverty, but it has also damned many others to starve to death. It is true that global wealth is growing in absolute terms, but inequalities have also grown and new poverty arisen.
Pope Francis
Image
The secret of Christian living is love. Only love fills the empty spaces caused by evil.
Pope Francis
Image
God’s love is free. He asks for nothing in return all he wants is for his love to be accepted.
Pope Francis
Image
Right now, we don't have a very good relation with creation.
Pope Francis
Image
It is now, more than ever, necessary that political leaders be outstanding for honesty, integrity and commitment to the common good. Thus will they be able to marshal the moral resources needed to face the demands of the present, and to pass on to coming generations a society of authentic justice, solidarity and peace.
Pope Francis
Image
Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court or kill you.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, don't be afraid to marry. A faithful and fruitful marriage will bring you happiness.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear brothers and sisters, the Church loves you! Be an active presence in the community, as living cells, as living stones.
Pope Francis
Image
Instead of being just a church that welcomes and receives by keeping the doors open, let us try also to be a church that finds new roads, that is able to step outside itself and go to those who do not attend Mass, to those who have quit or are indifferent.
Pope Francis
Image
We must not be afraid of solidarity rather let us make all we have and are available to God.
Pope Francis
Image
How beautiful it is to see that young people are 'street preachers,' joyfully bringing Jesus to every street, every town square and every corner of the earth!
Pope Francis
Image
Whenever people listen to one another humbly and openly, their shared values and aspirations become all the more apparent. Diversity is no longer seen as a threat, but as a source of enrichment.
Pope Francis
Image
The proclamation of the saving love of God comes before moral and religious imperatives. Today sometimes it seems that the opposite order is prevailing.
Pope Francis
Image
We ask the risen Jesus, who turns death into life, to change hatred into love, vengeance into forgiveness, war into peace. Yes, Christ is our peace, and through him to implore peace for all the world.
Pope Francis
Image
I would like that all of us, after these days of grace, might have the courage - the courage - to walk in the presence of the Lord, with the Cross of the Lord: to build the Church on the Blood of the Lord, which is shed on the Cross, and to profess the one glory, Christ Crucified. In this way, the Church will go forward.
Pope Francis
