The only way to heal is to look at the Cross, to look at God Who takes upon Himself our sins: my sin is there.
Pope Francis
Image
The proclamation of Jesus is not a veneer: the proclamation of Jesus goes straight to the bones, heart, goes deep within and change us. And the spirit of the world does not tolerate it, will not tolerate it, and therefore, there is persecution.
Pope Francis
Image
Many of you have asked the Lord, looking at Him: Why, Lord? And the Lord answers to each one of you, to your heart, Christ responds with His heart. It's the only thing I can tell you. Let us look to Christ, He is the Lord and He understands us because He underwent all the trials that we go through.
Pope Francis
Image
An example I often use to illustrate the reality of vanity, is this: look at the peacock it's beautiful if you look at it from the front. But if you look at it from behind, you discover the truth... Whoever gives in to such self-absorbed vanity has huge misery hiding inside them.
Pope Francis
Image
Nurturing and cherishing creation is a command God gives not only at the beginning of history, but to each of us. It is part of his plan it means causing the world to grow responsibly, transforming it so that it may be a garden, a habitable place for everyone.

Even the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God's creation, made in his own image, destined to live for ever, and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.
Pope Francis

We don't have to expect everything from those who govern us that would be juvenile.
Pope Francis

My authoritarian and quick manner of making decisions led me to have serious problems and to be accused of being ultraconservative. I have never been a right-winger. It was my authoritarian way of making decisions that created problems.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us thank all those who teach in Catholic schools. Educating is an act of love it is like giving life.
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
Instead of being just a church that welcomes and receives by keeping the doors open, let us try also to be a church that finds new roads, that is able to step outside itself and go to those who do not attend Mass, to those who have quit or are indifferent.
Pope Francis
Image
If there is no humility, love remains blocked.
Pope Francis
Image
Once elected, the Pope is by virtue of the promise of Jesus to Peter, the Pope is preserved from the possibility of error. God would change any spend thrift politician into a responsible Pope.
Pope Francis

When one lives attached to money, pride or power, it is impossible to be truly happy.

The joy of the Gospel is for all people: no one can be excluded.
Pope Francis
Image
You just can’t say that, just as you can’t say that all Christians are fundamentalists. We have our share of them (fundamentalists). All religions have these little groups.
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
Lent is a good time for sacrificing. Let us deny ourselves something every day to help others.
Pope Francis
Image
I think we too are the people who, on the one hand, want to listen to Jesus, but on the other hand, at times, like to find a stick to beat others with, to condemn others. And Jesus has this message for us: mercy. I think - and I say it with humility - that this is the Lord's most powerful message: mercy.
