More quotes by Pope Francis
How many kinds of moral and material poverty we face today as a result of denying God and putting so many idols in his place!
Pope Francis
Things have a price and can be for sale. But people have a dignity that is priceless and worth far more than things.
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
May the God of peace arouse in all an authentic desire for dialogue and reconciliation. Violence cannot be overcome with violence. Violence is overcome with peace.
Pope Francis
Joy cannot be held at heel: it must be let go. Joy is a pilgrim virtue. It is a gift that walks, walks on the path of life, that walks with Jesus: preaching, proclaiming Jesus, proclaiming joy, lengthens and widens that path.
Pope Francis
May every Church and Christian community be a place of mercy amid so much indifference.
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
Patriarch Kirill. I would prefer - because if I say one thing, I have to say another and another and another. I would prefer that what we spoke about, us, alone, will remain only what we said in public.
Pope Francis
Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare.
Pope Francis
Amid so many problems, even grave, may we not lose our hope in the infinite mercy of God.
Pope Francis
And now I would like to give the blessing, but first - first I ask a favor of you: before the Bishop blesses his people, I ask you to pray to the Lord that he will bless me: the prayer of the people asking the blessing for their Bishop.
Pope Francis
Saints are people who belong fully to God. They are not afraid of being mocked, misunderstood or marginalized.
Pope Francis
The Earth is our environment to protect and the garden to tend to.
Pope Francis
The key phrase used by the synod, which I'll take up again, is 'integrate' in the life of the Church the wounded families, remarried families, etc. But of this one mustn't forget the children in the middle. They are the first victims, both in the wounds, and in the conditions of poverty, of work.
Pope Francis
Only by becoming poor ourselves, by stripping away our complacency, will we be able to identify with the least of our brothers and sisters.
Pope Francis
Say no to an ephemeral, superficial and throwaway culture, a culture that assumes that you are incapable of taking on responsibility and facing the great challenges of life!
Pope Francis
Instead of seeming to impose new obligations, they should appear as people who wish to share their joy, who point to a horizon of beauty and who invite others to a delicious banquet. It is not by proselytizing that the Church grows, but by attraction.
Pope Francis
We must not be afraid of solidarity rather let us make all we have and are available to God.
Pope Francis
We need to provide an education which teaches critical thinking and encourages the development of mature moral values.
Pope Francis
Politics is noble it is one of the highest forms of charity, as Paul VI used to say. We sully it when we mix it with business. The relationship between the Church and political power can also be corrupted if common good is not the only converging point.
Pope Francis
