More quotes by Pope Francis
Jesuits make a vow of obedience to the Pope. But if the Pope is a Jesuit, perhaps he has to make a vow of obedience to the General of the Jesuits! I don’t know how to resolve this … I feel a Jesuit in my spirituality in the spirituality of the Exercises, the spirituality deep in my heart.
Pope Francis
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
Human life must always be defended from its beginning in the womb and must be recognised as a gift of God that guarantees the future of humanity.
Pope Francis
There are people who are afraid to go to confession, forgetting that they will not encounter a severe judge there, but the immensely merciful Father.
Pope Francis
You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. That's how prayer works.
Pope Francis
When you lose the capacity to dream, you lose the capacity to love, and the energy to love is lost.
Pope Francis
It makes me sad when I find sisters who aren't joyful. They might smile, but with just a smile they could be flight attendants!
Pope Francis
I think that even the Mexican society is a victim of all of this, of these crimes of cleaning people, of discarding people.
Pope Francis
[Joseph Ratzinger] is a man who as the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith had everything in his hands. He conducted all the investigations, and went on, went on, went on, until he couldn't go any further in the execution.
Pope Francis
I asked [Guadalupe] for the world, for peace, so many things. I asked forgiveness, I asked that the Church grows healthy, I asked for the Mexican people. And another thing I asked a lot for: that priests be true priests, and sisters true sisters, and bishops true bishops. As the Lord wants.
Pope Francis
Certain realities in life are only seen through eyes that are cleansed through our tears. Let us learn how to weep
Pope Francis
No one can grow if he does not accept his smallness.
Pope Francis
In this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.
Pope Francis
It does not render justice to the victims, but rather fosters vengeance.
Pope Francis
We can observe the Fourth Commandment by loving visits to our aging grandparents
Pope Francis
It is no easy task to overcome the bitter legacy of injustices, hostility and mistrust left by the conflict. It can only be done by overcoming evil with good.
Pope Francis
Let us protect with love all that God has given us!
Pope Francis
In a family, parents, grandparents and children feel at home no one is excluded. If someone has a problem, even a serious one, even if he brought it upon himself, the rest of the family comes to his assistance they support him. ... Should the same not happen in society?
Pope Francis
We are impatient, anxious to see the whole picture, but God lets us see things slowly, quietly.
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
