Image
Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor.
Pope Francis
Image
Christ’s love and friendship are no illusion. On the Cross Jesus showed how real they are.
Pope Francis
Image
We must learn from Mary, and we must imitate her unconditional readiness to receive Christ in her life.
Pope Francis
Image
Let yourselves be led by the Holy Spirit, with freedom and, please, do not cage the Holy Spirit
Pope Francis
Image
May both of them [Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II] teach us not to be scandalized by the wounds of Christ and to enter ever more deeply into the mystery of divine mercy, which always hopes and always forgives, because it always loves.
Pope Francis
Image
The times talk to us of so much poverty in the world and this is a scandal. Poverty in the world is a scandal. In a world where there is so much wealth, so many resources to feed everyone, it is unfathomable that there are so many hungry children, that there are so many children without an education, so many poor persons. Poverty today is a cry.

If I'm not mistaken, Sigmund Freud said that in every idealisation there's an aggression. Depicting the Pope as a sort of Superman, a star, is offensive to me. The pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps calmly and has friends like everyone else. A normal person.
Pope Francis
Image
From the Cross, Christ teaches us to love even those who do not love us.
Pope Francis
Image
The cry of a baby is God's voice: never drive them away from the church!
Pope Francis
Image
I will be praying with my best wishes that the Orthodox move ahead because they are brothers and their bishops are bishops like us.
Pope Francis
Image
Resolve not to be overcome by evil, but to combat evil with good.
Pope Francis
Image
Spiritual worldliness kills! It kills the soul! It kills the Church!
Pope Francis
Image
Worshipping the Lord means giving him the place that he must have worshipping the Lord means stating, believing-not only by our words- that he alone truly guides our lives worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before him that he is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history.
Pope Francis
Image
Do we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit, so as to be an active part of our communities, or do we close in on ourselves, saying 'I have so many things to do, that's not my job'?
Pope Francis
Image
When evangelizers rise from prayer, their hearts are more open freed of self-absorption, they are desirous of doing good and sharing their lives with others.
Pope Francis
Image
In a word: charity cannot be neutral, antiseptic, indifferent, lukewarm or impartial! Charity is infectious, it excites, it risks and it engages! For true charity is always unmerited, unconditional and gratuitous!
Pope Francis
Image
Education, work, and access to health care for all are key elements for development and the just distribution of goods, for the attainment of social justice, for membership in society, and for free and responsible participation in political life.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus spoke in such a way that the people loved the things of God. That’s why they followed him.
Pope Francis
Image
I have decided to proclaim for the whole Church... a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria, the Middle East, and throughout the world, and I also invite each person, including our fellow Christians, followers of other religions and all men of good will, to participate, in whatever way they can, in this initiative.

If globalization seeks to bring all of us together, but to do so respecting each person, each individual person's peculiarity, that globalization is good and makes us good and grow and leads to peace.
Pope Francis
