Before I give you a blessing, I ask you for a favor: I want you to bless me.
Pope Francis
Image
Brothers and sisters, good evening. You all know that the duty of the conclave was to give a bishop to Rome. It seems that my brother cardinals have gone almost to the ends of the earth to get him... but here we are.
Pope Francis
Image
Imagine, to become a priest there are eight years of study and preparation, and then if after a while you can't do it, you can ask for a dispensation, you leave, and everything is OK.
Pope Francis
Image
Proselytism is solemn nonsense, it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us.
Pope Francis
Image
The Pope loves everyone, rich and poor alike, but the Pope has the duty, in Christ's name, to remind the rich to help the poor, to respect them, to promote them.
Pope Francis
Image
Workers should have Sundays off because Sunday is for the family. Calling for Sundays to be a holiday.
Pope Francis
Image
Where the elderly are not honored, there is no future for the young.
Pope Francis
Image
I'm overwhelmed by shame that the people who had the responsibility to take care of the tender ones violated that trust and caused them great pain.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
I would like to ask you a question: how many of you pray to the Holy Spirit every day? Probably few, but we must satisfy this desire of Jesus and pray every day to the Holy Spirit, so that he opens our heart towards Jesus.
Pope Francis

All of us are called to fight # humantraffickin g and # slavery .
Pope Francis
Image
The family is a community of love where each of us learns to relate to others and to the world around us.
Pope Francis
Image
We too can be saints in our family, in our neighborhood, wherever we live and work. Be a person who listens to what people need, communicating not only to grieve or tell others about your own problems. Listen in order to intercede and help out.
Pope Francis
Image
And does not true freedom mean choosing ways in this world that lead to the good of all and are guided by love?
Pope Francis
Image
The mercy of Jesus is not just sentiment: indeed it is a force that gives life, that raises man up!
Pope Francis
Image
There is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, they are persons, they are not some vague idea in the clouds. This God spray does not exist! The three persons exist!
Pope Francis
Image
How many young people among you are like this? You know how to give and yet you have ever learned how to receive. You still lack one thing. Become a beggar. This is what you still lack. Learn how to beg. This isn’t easy to understand. To learn how to beg. To learn how to receive with humility.
Pope Francis

The people of God want pastors, not clergy acting like bureaucrats or government officials.
Pope Francis

Spiritual worldliness kills! It kills the soul! It kills the Church!

Today people are suffering from poverty, but also from lack of love
