Image
Jesus speaks in the silence of the mystery of the Eucharist and reminds us each time that following him means going out of ourselves and making our lives not something we 'possess,' but a gift to him and to others.
Pope Francis
Image
Having faith does not mean having no difficulties, but having the strength to face them, knowing we are not alone.
Pope Francis
Image
In the face of so many wounds that hurt us and could lead to a hardness of heart, we are called to dive into the sea of prayer, which is the sea of the boundless love of God, in order to experience his tenderness
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
When Christians forget about hope and tenderness they become a cold Church, that loses its sense of direction and is held back by ideologies and worldly attitudes, whereas God’s simplicity tells you: go forward, I am a Father who caresses you.
Pope Francis
Image
We need to include the excluded and preach peace.
Pope Francis
Image
Amid so many problems, even grave, may we not lose our hope in the infinite mercy of God.
Pope Francis

If we take the poor away from the Gospel, we won't be able to understand the whole message of Jesus Christ.

Solidarity...is a structural value of the social doctrine, as Blessed John Paul II reminded us.
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
Image
We don't need youth museums but we do need holy young people.
Pope Francis
Image
Today in many places we hear a call for greater security. But until exclusion and inequality in society and between peoples is reversed, it will be impossible to eliminate violence.
Pope Francis
Image
Division within a Christian community is a very grave sin it is the work of the devil.
Pope Francis
Image
Love is more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope blossom in the wilderness.
Pope Francis
Image
Charity, patience and tenderness are very beautiful gifts. If you have them, you want to share them with others.
Pope Francis
Image
The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! 'Father, the atheists?' Even the atheists. Everyone!
Pope Francis
Image
The family is the greatest treasure of any country. Let us all work to protect and strengthen this, the cornerstone of society.
Pope Francis
Image
Are you angry with someone? Pray for that person. That is what Christian love is.
Pope Francis
Image
Instead of seeming to impose new obligations, they should appear as people who wish to share their joy, who point to a horizon of beauty and who invite others to a delicious banquet. It is not by proselytizing that the Church grows, but by attraction.
Pope Francis
Image
Even today we raise our hand against our brother... We have perfected our weapons, our conscience has fallen asleep, and we have sharpened our ideas to justify ourselves as if it were normal we continue to sow destruction, pain, death. Violence and war lead only to death.
Pope Francis
