More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
How powerful prayer is! May we never lose the courage to say: Lord, give us your peace.
Pope Francis
Image
Lent comes providentially to reawaken us, to shake us from our lethargy.
Pope Francis
Image
Right now, we don't have a very good relation with creation.
Pope Francis
Image
Holy Week is a privileged time when we are called to draw near to Jesus: friendship with him is shown in times of difficulty.
Pope Francis
Image
Sometimes we are tempted to find excuses and complain, acting as if we could only be happy if a thousand conditions were met...I can say that the most beautiful and natural expressions of joy which I have seen in my life were in poor people who had little to hold on to.
Pope Francis
Image
We cannot give up in the face of evil. God is Love and he has defeated evil through Christ’s death and resurrection.
Pope Francis
Image
Each encounter with Jesus changes our life.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not close our hearts, let us not lose confidence, let us never give up: there are no situations which God cannot change, there is no sin which he cannot forgive if only we open ourselves to him.
Pope Francis
Image
May both of them [Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II] teach us not to be scandalized by the wounds of Christ and to enter ever more deeply into the mystery of divine mercy, which always hopes and always forgives, because it always loves.
Pope Francis
Image
Be dispensers of God's grace, not controllers. Don't be the Holy Spirit's customs agents.
Pope Francis
Image
More and more people work on Sundays as a consequence of the competitiveness imposed by a consumer society.
Pope Francis
Image
I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt.
Pope Francis
Image
How good it is for us when the Lord unsettles our lukewarm and superficial lives.
Pope Francis
Image
If money and material things become the center of our lives, they seize us and make us slaves.
Pope Francis
Image
We also must learn to listen more to our conscience. Be careful, however: this does not mean we ought to follow our ego, do whatever interests us, whatever suits us, whatever pleases us. That is not conscience.
Pope Francis
Image
Lent is a good time for sacrificing. Let us deny ourselves something every day to help others.
Pope Francis
Image
We need to proclaim the Gospel on every street corner, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing, even with our preaching, every kind of disease and wound.
Pope Francis
Image
Indifference is dangerous, whether innocent or not.
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
To live charitably means not looking out for our own interests, but carrying the burdens of the weakest and poorest among us.
