Image
But always think this: do not be afraid of failure. Do not be afraid of falling. In the art of walking, what is important is not avoiding the fall but not remaining fallen.
Pope Francis
Image
Please waste time just playing with your kids!
Pope Francis
Image
Lent is a good time for sacrificing. Let us deny ourselves something every day to help others.
Pope Francis
Image
We don't have to expect everything from those who govern us that would be juvenile.
Pope Francis
Image
In a very real way, the poor are our teachers. They show us that people’s value is not measured by their possessions or how much money they have in the bank. A poor person, a person lacking material possessions, always maintains his or her dignity. The poor can teach us much about humility and trust in God.
Pope Francis
Image
The Rosary is a school of Prayer. The Rosary is a school of Faith.
Pope Francis
Image
Do I guard myself, my heart, my feelings, my thoughts? Do I guard the treasure of grace? Do I guard the presence of the Holy Spirit in me? Or do I let go, feeling secure, believing that all is going well?
Pope Francis
Image
When you lose the capacity to dream, you lose the capacity to love, and the energy to love is lost.
Pope Francis
Image
We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.
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
Take good care of creation. St. Francis wanted that. People occasionally forgive, but nature never does. If we don't take care of the environment, there's no way of getting around it.
Pope Francis
Image
Life is a precious gift, but we realize this only when we give it to others.
Pope Francis
Image
Worshipping is stripping ourselves of our idols, even the most hidden ones, and choosing the Lord as the centre, as the highway of our lives.
Pope Francis
Image
We must overcome...all forms of racism. The problem of intolerance should be dealt with as a whole: every time a minority is persecuted and marginalized...the good of the whole society is in danger.
Pope Francis
Image
How precious is the family as the privileged place for transmitting the faith.
Pope Francis
Image
I have decided to proclaim for the whole Church... a day of fasting and prayer for peace in Syria, the Middle East, and throughout the world, and I also invite each person, including our fellow Christians, followers of other religions and all men of good will, to participate, in whatever way they can, in this initiative.
Pope Francis
Image
The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth.
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
Image
We pray for the many brothers and sisters who seek refuge far from their native lands, who seek a home where they can live without fear: that they might always be respected in their dignity.
Pope Francis

The life of Jesus is a life for others. It is a life of service.
