More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
The Golden Rule reminds us of our responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage of its development. This conviction has led me, from the beginning of my ministry, to advocate at different levels for the global abolition of the death penalty.
Pope Francis
Image
Indifference to our neighbour and to God also represents a real temptation for us Christians. Each year during Lent we need to hear once more the voice of the prophets who cry out and trouble our conscience.
Pope Francis
Image
It seems that humanity is incapable of putting a halt to the shedding of innocent blood.
Pope Francis
Image
Our Christian identity is belonging to a people: the Church. Without the Church we are not Christians.
Pope Francis
Image
The Roman Curia has its defects, but it seems to me that people often overemphasize its defects and talk too little about the health of the many religious and laypeople who work there.
Pope Francis
Image
There is so much noise in the world! May we learn to be silent in our hearts and before God.
Pope Francis
Image
Fraternal love is the nearest testimony that we can give that Jesus is alive among us.
Pope Francis
Image
Take care of God’s creation. But above all, take care of people in need.
Pope Francis
Image
If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge him? The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains this very well. It says they should not be marginalized because of this (orientation) but that they must be integrated into society. The problem is not having this orientation. We must be brothers.
Pope Francis
Image
Christians must respond to evil with good, taking the cross upon themselves as Jesus did
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
[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
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
Our Lady is always close to us, especially when we feel the weight of life with all its problems
Pope Francis
Image
Solidarity...is a structural value of the social doctrine, as Blessed John Paul II reminded us.
Pope Francis
Image
Too often we participate in the globalization of indifference. May we strive instead to live global solidarity.
Pope Francis
Image
How good it is for us when the Lord unsettles our lukewarm and superficial lives.
Pope Francis
Image
If we start without confidence, we have already lost half the battle and we bury our talents.
Pope Francis
Image
He looked beyond. He looked to the peoples of the Earth and saw the destruction of the family because of the lack of children. Paul VI was courageous. He was a good pastor. He warned his sheep about the wolves that were approaching, and from the heavens he blesses us today.
Pope Francis

The first setting in which faith enlightens the human city is the family.
