Pope Francis

I would like that all of us, after these days of grace, might have the courage - the courage - to walk in the presence of the Lord, with the Cross of the Lord: to build the Church on the Blood of the Lord, which is shed on the Cross, and to profess the one glory, Christ Crucified. In this way, the Church will go forward.

Pope Francis
Image
I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt.
Pope Francis
Image
You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others.

Human dignity is the same for all human beings: when I trample on the dignity of another, I am trampling on my own.
