More quotes by Pope Francis
Let us always pray for one another.
Pope Francis
By saying blessed are those who mourn, Jesus does not intend to declare an unfortunate and burdensome condition in life to be happy. Suffering is not a value in itself, but a reality that Jesus teaches us to live with the correct attitude.
Pope Francis
We need to see each child as a gift to be welcomed, cherished, and protected.
Pope Francis
I tell priests to flee from clericalism because clericalism distances people. May they flee from clericalism and I add: it's a plague in the Church.
Pope Francis
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.
Pope Francis
To live as true children of God means to love our neighbour and to be close to those who are lonely and in difficulty
Pope Francis
Let us never give in to pessimism, to that bitterness that the devil offers us every day. Do not give in to pessimism and discouragement. We have the firm certainty that the Holy Spirit gives the Church with His mighty breath, the courage to persevere and also to seek new methods of evangelization, to bring the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
Pope Francis
Your sins are great? Just tell the Lord: Forgive me, help me to get up again, change my heart!
Pope Francis
I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security.
Pope Francis
[Joseph Ratzinger] is a man who as the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith had everything in his hands. He conducted all the investigations, and went on, went on, went on, until he couldn't go any further in the execution.
Pope Francis
When families bring children into the world, train them in faith and sound values, and teach them to contribute to society, they become a blessing in our world.
Pope Francis
People in every nation enhance the social dimension of their lives by acting as committed and responsible citizens.
Pope Francis
Racism today is the ultimate evil in the world
Pope Francis
Are you angry with someone? Pray for that person. That is what Christian love is.
Pope Francis
Amid so many problems, even grave, may we not lose our hope in the infinite mercy of God.
Pope Francis
We don't have to expect everything from those who govern us that would be juvenile.
Pope Francis
Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God. We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God.
Pope Francis
This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly... a tragedy... what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!
Pope Francis
Let love simply bloom... and it is unstoppable.
Pope Francis
I wish to make add my voice to the cry which rises up with increasing anguish from every part of the world, from every people, from the heart of each person, from the one great family which is humanity: it is the cry for peace!
Pope Francis
