Dear young people, do not be afraid of making decisive choices in life. Have faith the Lord will not abandon you!
Pope Francis
Image
Although the life of a person is in a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God.
Pope Francis
Image
I have neither silver nor gold, but I bring with me the most precious thing given to me: Jesus Christ.
Pope Francis
Image
An evangelizing community gets involved in word and deed in people’s daily lives it bridges distances, it is willing to abase itself if necessary, and it embraces human life, touching the suffering flesh of Christ in others
Pope Francis
Image
Do not be afraid to cast yourselves into the arms of God whatever he asks of you, he will repay a hundredfold.
Pope Francis
Image
All Catholics must ask themselves what they personally have done lately to build up the holiness of the church and ensure people feel welcomed and loved in it.
Pope Francis
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
Wine is a sign of happiness, love and plenty, how many of our adolescents and young people sense that these are no longer found in their homes? How many women, sad and lonely, wonder when love left, when it slipped away from their lives? How many elderly people feel left out of family celebrations, cast aside and longing each day for a little love?
Pope Francis
Image
Negative feelings choke the Lord’s word in us.
Pope Francis
Image
Fathers are so necessary as examples and guides for our children in wisdom and virtue. Without father figures, young people often feel orphaned left adrift at a critical moment in their growth and development.
Pope Francis
Image
To build peace is difficult but to live without it is torment.
Pope Francis
Image
Peacemaking calls for courage, much more so than warfare.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence, let us never give up: there are no situations which God cannot change, there is no sin which he cannot forgive if only we open ourselves to him.
Pope Francis
Image
No one must use the name of God to commit violence. To kill in the name of God is a grave sacrilege. To discriminate in the name of God is inhuman.
Pope Francis
Image
Do I pray that the Lord gives me the desire to do his will, or do I look for compromises because I'm afraid of God's will?
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
I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess.
Pope Francis
Image
If one has the answers to all the questions - that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties we must be humble.
Pope Francis
Image
Vanity, showing off, is an attitude that reduces spirituality to a worldly thing, which is the worst sin that could be committed in the church.
Pope Francis
Image
The Lord speaks to us through the Scriptures and in our prayer. Let us learn to keep silence before him, as we meditate upon the Gospel.
