Charity, patience and tenderness are very beautiful gifts. If you have them, you want to share them with others.
Pope Francis
Image
But you too, help one another: help one another always. One another. In this way, by helping one another, we will do some good.
Pope Francis

The Corrupt should be tied to a rock & thrown into the sea
Pope Francis

I see the church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars. You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else.
Pope Francis
Image
We cannot become starched Christians, too polite, who speak of theology calmly over tea. We have to become courageous Christians and seek out those (who need help most).
Pope Francis
Image
A poverty learned with the humble, the poor, the sick and all those who are on the existential outskirts of life. A theoretical poverty is no use to us. Poverty is learned by touching the flesh of the poor Christ, in the humble, in the poor, in the sick and in children.

It is not enough to say we are Christians. We must live the faith, not only with our words, but with our actions.
Pope Francis
Image
I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess.
Pope Francis
Image
A Christian who does not protect Creation, who does not let it grow, is a Christian who does not care about the work of God, that work that was born from the love of God for us. And this is the first response to the first creation: protect creation, make it grow.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
Today is my anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. Please pray for me and all priests.
Pope Francis
Image
I make a forceful and urgent call to the entire Catholic Church, and also to every Christian of other confessions, as well as to followers of every religion and to those brothers and sisters who do not believe: peace is a good which overcomes every barrier, because it belongs to all of humanity!
Pope Francis

Let us be protectors of all of Gods Creatures

I already knew about this friendship between St. John Paul II and this philosopher [Ana Teresa Tymieniecka] when I was in Buenos Aires. It was known. Also her books are known.
