More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
Too often we participate in the globalization of indifference. May we strive instead to live global solidarity.
Pope Francis
Image
In the Gospel we have just heard, Jesus, the Master, teaches the crowds and the small group of his disciples by accommodating himself to their ability to understand. ... Jesus does not seek to 'play the professor.' Instead, he seeks to reach people's hearts, their understanding and their lives, so that they may bear fruit.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us ask Mary to help us fix our eyes intently on Jesus, to follow him always, even when this is demanding.
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
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
Image
With God, nothing is lost but without him, everything is lost.
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
Every time we judge our brother in our hearts or worse when we speak badly of them with others, we are murdering Christians.
Pope Francis
Image
Take care of God’s creation. But above all, take care of people in need.
Pope Francis
Image
Please waste time just playing with your kids!
Pope Francis
Image
Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out? And we do not let him out because of our own need for security, because so often we are locked into ephemeral structures that serve solely to make us slaves and not free children of God.
Pope Francis
Image
Let those desert places in our hearts bloom.
Pope Francis
Image
A person who is not convinced, enthusiastic, certain and in love, will convince nobody.
Pope Francis
Image
The culture of comfort, which makes us think only of ourselves, makes us insensitive to the cries of other people.
Pope Francis
Image
Charity that does not change the situation of the poor isn't enough.
Pope Francis
Image
It is the attitude of some leaders of God's people they continually scold others, hurl reproaches at them, tell them to be quiet. ... 'Madam, take your crying child out of the church as I am preaching.' As if the cries of a child were not a sublime homily.
Pope Francis
Image
Today too, as at her origins, the Church... cries out:“Veni, Sancte Spiritus! Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of your love!” Amen.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, let us not be satisfied with a mediocre life. Be amazed by what is true and beautiful, what is of God!
Pope Francis
Image
God asks everything of us, yet at the same time he offers everything to us.
Pope Francis
Image
May God welcome the dead into his peace, comfort the families and convert the hearts of the violent ones, who do not even stop before children.
Pope Francis
