This is God's way, the way of humility. It is the way of Jesus there is no other. And there can be no humility without humiliation.
Pope Francis
Image
First, we can pray in communion with the Church on earth and in heaven. Let us not underestimate the power of so many voices united in prayer!
Pope Francis
Image
You cannot be a conscious Christian without St. Paul. He translated the teachings of Christ into a doctrinal structure that, even with the additions of a vast number of thinkers, theologians and pastors, has resisted and still exists after two thousand years.
Pope Francis
Image
We need to avoid the spiritual sickness of a church that is wrapped up in its own world: when a church becomes like this, it grows sick.
Pope Francis
Image
The first setting in which faith enlightens the human city is the family.
Pope Francis
Image
Abortion is not a theological problem, it is a human problem, it is a medical problem. You kill one person to save another, in the best case scenario. Or to live comfortably, no? It's against the Hippocratic oaths doctors must take.
Pope Francis
Image
Human trafficking is a crime against humanity. We must unite our efforts to free the victims and stop this increasingly aggressive crime which threatens not only individuals but the basic values of society.
Pope Francis
Image
Together with a culture of work, there must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport.
Pope Francis
Image
God never closes off horizons He is never unconcerned about the lives and sufferings of His children. God never allows Himself to be outdone in generosity.
Pope Francis
Image
We cannot be part-time Christians! We should seek to live our faith at every moment of every day.
Pope Francis
Image
The family is where we are formed as people. Every family is a brick in the building of society
Pope Francis
Image
I cannot live without people. I need to live my life with others.
Pope Francis
Image
To be an ambassador for Christ means to invite everyone to a personal encounter with Jesus
Pope Francis
Image
Whenever people listen to one another humbly and openly, their shared values and aspirations become all the more apparent. Diversity is no longer seen as a threat, but as a source of enrichment.
Pope Francis
Image
We are called to reach out to those who find themselves in the existential peripheries of our societies and to show particular solidarity with the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters: the poor, the disabled, the unborn and the sick, migrants and refugees, the elderly and the young who lack employment.
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
We have observed that, in society and the world in which we live, selfishness has increased more than love for others, and that men of good will must work, each with his own strengths and expertise, to ensure that love for others increases until it is equal and possibly exceeds love for oneself.
Pope Francis
Image
So many of you have lost everything. I do not know what to tell you. But surely he knows what to tell you! So many of you have lost members of your family. I can only be silent I accompany you silently, with my heart...
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

The Eucharist is essential for us: it is Christ who wishes to enter our lives and fill us with his grace.
