More quotes by 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
This Christmas may we be consistent in living the Gospel, welcoming Jesus into the centre of our lives.
Pope Francis
Working for a just distribution of the fruits of the earth and human labor is not mere philanthropy. It is a moral obligation.
Pope Francis
Trust in the power of Christ’s Cross! Receive his reconciling grace and share it!
Pope Francis

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
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
Let us never lose hope! God loves us always, even with our mistakes and sins.
Pope Francis

Pope Francis
Mary is more important than the apostles.
Pope Francis
We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. The teaching of the church, for that matter, is clear and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time.
Pope Francis
Maybe it's a little crazy, but it's good to have it, but I just don't like [prizes or honors].
Pope Francis
Our infinite sadness can only be cured by an infinite love.
Pope Francis
The most important thing is the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved you.
Pope Francis
I like this idea of the re-foundation of the European Union, maybe it can be done, because Europe - I do not say is unique, but it has a force, a culture, a history that cannot be wasted, and we must do everything so that the European Union has the strength and also the inspiration to make it go forward. That's what I think.
Pope Francis
The Church is called to draw near to every person, beginning with the poorest and those who suffer.
Pope Francis
I had the habit of not accepting prizes or honors, but always, not out of humility, but because I don't like them.
Pope Francis
Every people deserves to conserve its identity without being ideologically colonised.
Pope Francis
[Mexican people] have a culture, a culture that goes back millennia.
