More quotes by Pope Francis
We should all remember... that throwing food away is like stealing from the tables of the poor, the hungry! I encourage everyone to reflect on the problem of thrown away and wasted food to identify ways and means that, by seriously addressing this issue, are a vehicle of solidarity and sharing with the needy.
Pope Francis
We, the women and men of the Church, we are in the middle of a love story: each of us is a link in this chain of love. And if we do not understand this, we have understood nothing of what the Church is.
Pope Francis
A society which abandons children and the elderly severs its roots and darkens its future.
Pope Francis
Unrestrained liberalism only makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker and excludes the most excluded.
Pope Francis
Be present to those who, living in the midst of a society burdened by poverty and corruption, are broken in spirit, tempted to give up, to leave school and to live on the streets.
Pope Francis
I allow myself to honor the man who fought in moments when he had no strength to impose himself, until he managed to impose himself. [Joseph] Ratzinger. Cardinal Ratzinger deserves applause.

Pope Francis
There is a need for financial reform along ethical lines that would produce in its turn an economic reform to benefit everyone. This would nevertheless require a courageous change of attitude on the part of political leaders.
Pope Francis
Once capital becomes an idol and guides people's decisions, once greed for money presides over the entire socioeconomic system, it ruins society, it condemns and enslaves men and women, it destroys human fraternity, it sets people against one another and it even puts at risk our common home.
Pope Francis
Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God's creation, made in his own image, destined to live for ever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.
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 come that they may have life and have it in abundance, says Jesus. This is where true wealth is found, not in material things!
Pope Francis
Christians must respond to evil with good, taking the cross upon themselves as Jesus did
Pope Francis
May Christ the Savior give peace to Nigeria, where more blood is being shed and too many people are unjustly deprived of their possessions, held as hostages or killed.
Pope Francis
An evangelizer must never look like someone who has just come back from a funeral.
Pope Francis
Charity that does not change the situation of the poor isn't enough.
Pope Francis
Let us never forget that authentic power is service, which has its radiant culmination on the Cross.
Pope Francis
