Our world is facing a refugee crisis of a magnitude not seen since the Second World War. This presents us with great challenges and many hard decisions.
Pope Francis
Image
I would like especially to mention you, the women, wives and mothers of Paraguay, who at great cost and sacrifice were able to lift up a country defeated, devastated and laid low by an abominable war. God bless your perseverance, God bless and encourage your faith, God bless the women of Paraguay, the most glorious women of America.
Pope Francis
Image
In the Church, and in the journey of faith, women have had and still have a special role in opening doors to the Lord.
Pope Francis
Image
We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.
Pope Francis
Image
A Christian is never bored or sad. Rather, the one who loves Christ is full of joy and radiates joy.
Pope Francis
Image
Among us, who is above must be in service of the others. This doesn't mean we have to wash each other's feet every day, but we must help one another.
Pope Francis
Image
The proclamation of the Gospel is destined primarily to the poor, to those who often lack the essentials for a decent life. The good news is first announced to them, that God loves them before all others and comes to visit them through the acts of charity that the disciples of Christ carry out in his name.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus is the one who brings God to us and us to God.
Pope Francis
Image
This generation, and many others, have been led to believe that the devil is a myth, a figure, an idea, the idea of evil... But the devil exists and we must fight against him.
Pope Francis
Image
An evangelizing community gets involved in word and deed in people’s daily lives it bridges distances, it is willing to abase itself if necessary, and it embraces human life, touching the suffering flesh of Christ in others
Pope Francis
Image
The vocation of being a 'protector' [. . .] means protecting all creation, the beauty of the created world, as the Book of Genesis tells us and as Saint Francis of Assisi showed us [. . .] In the end, everything has been entrusted to our protection, and all of us are responsible for it. Be protectors of God’s gifts!
Pope Francis
Image
No one can grow if he does not accept his smallness.
Pope Francis
Image
Faith is professed with the lips and with the heart, through words & through love.
Pope Francis
Image
It is through an unbroken chain of witnesses that we come to see the face of Jesus.
Pope Francis
Image
There is so much indifference in the face of suffering. May we overcome indifference with concrete acts of charity.
Pope Francis
Image
Money is needed to bring about many good things but when your heart is attached, it destroys you
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
If one has the answers to all the questions - that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties we must be humble.
Pope Francis
Image
I wish everyone a wonderful World Cup, played in a spirit of true fraternity.
Pope Francis

There is never a reason to lose hope. Jesus says: “I am with you until the end of the world.
