How many young people among you are like this? You know how to give and yet you have ever learned how to receive. You still lack one thing. Become a beggar. This is what you still lack. Learn how to beg. This isn’t easy to understand. To learn how to beg. To learn how to receive with humility.
Pope Francis

If evil is contagious, so is good:therefore, we must allow good to abound in us, more and morelet us be infected by goodness, and let us spread the good contagion.
Pope Francis

If sadness comes to you one day with an invitation, tell it you are committed to joy and will be faithful to it your whole life long.
Pope Francis
Image
Joy adapts and changes, but it always endures, even as a flicker of light born of our personal certainty that, when everything is said and done, we are infinitely loved.
Pope Francis
Image
Lithuanian bishops have been heroic!
Pope Francis
Image

Christians must respond to evil with good, taking the cross upon themselves as Jesus did
Pope Francis
Image
The cross of Christ, embraced with love, never brings sadness with it, but joy, the joy of being saved and of doing a little of what he did on the day of his death.
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
We too can be saints in our family, in our neighborhood, wherever we live and work. Be a person who listens to what people need, communicating not only to grieve or tell others about your own problems. Listen in order to intercede and help out.
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
Work ends up dehumanizing people.
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
