Quote

We can walk when we want to, we can build many things, but if we do not witness to Jesus Christ then it doesn't matter. We might become a philanthropic NGO but we wouldn't be the Church, the Bride of the Lord.

No one must use the name of God to commit violence. To kill in the name of God is a grave sacrilege. To discriminate in the name of God is inhuman.
Pope Francis
Image
When evangelizers rise from prayer, their hearts are more open freed of self-absorption, they are desirous of doing good and sharing their lives with others.
Pope Francis
Image
We also try to reach out to people who are far away, via digital means, the web and brief messaging.
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
Image
There is nothing the Church can do except try to educate people to become good consumers.
Pope Francis
Image
Only by becoming poor ourselves, by stripping away our complacency, will we be able to identify with the least of our brothers and sisters.
Pope Francis
Image
I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance, says Jesus. This is where true wealth is found, not in material things!
Pope Francis
Image
We have to state, without mincing words, that there is an inseparable bond between our faith and the poor. May we never abandon them.
Pope Francis
Image
In a family, parents, grandparents and children feel at home no one is excluded. If someone has a problem, even a serious one, even if he brought it upon himself, the rest of the family comes to his assistance they support him. ... Should the same not happen in society?
