Image
Let us never forget that it is the Lord who guides the Church. He is the one who makes our apostolates fruitful.
Pope Francis
Image
The fruits of this profound union with Jesus are marvelous: our whole being is transformed by the grace of the Holy Spirit: soul, intelligence, will, affections and even the body, because we are united in body and spirit.
Pope Francis
Image
Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out? And we do not let him out because of our own need for security, because so often we are locked into ephemeral structures that serve solely to make us slaves and not free children of God.
Pope Francis
Image
Inconsistency on the part of pastors and the faithful between what they say and what they do, between word and manner of life, is undermining the church's credibility.
Pope Francis
Image
True love does not pay attention to the evil it suffers. It rejoices in doing good.
Pope Francis
Image
We need to build up society in the light of the Beatitudes, walking towards the Kingdom with the least among us.
Pope Francis
Image
Together with the social responsibility of businesses, there is also the social responsibility of consumers. Every person ought to have the awareness that 'purchasing is always a moral-and not simply an economic-act.
Pope Francis
Image
Since many of you do not belong to the Catholic Church and others are non-believers, from the bottom of my heart I give this silent blessing to each and every one of you, respecting the conscience of each one of you but knowing that each one of you is a child of God.
Pope Francis
Image
No act of virtue can be great if it is not followed by advantage for others. So, no matter how much time you spend fasting, no matter how much you sleep on a hard floor and eat ashes and sigh continually, if you do no good to others, you do nothing great.
Pope Francis
Image
The life of Jesus is a life for others. It is a life of service.
Pope Francis
Image
We need to 'go out,' then, in order to experience our own anointing, its power and its redemptive efficacy: to the 'outskirts' where there is suffering, bloodshed, blindness that longs for sight, and prisoners in thrall to many evil masters.
Pope Francis
Image
Human dignity is the same for all human beings: when I trample on the dignity of another, I am trampling on my own.
Pope Francis
Image
The Church, in her wisdom, maintains the distinction between engaged and married couples -- they are not the same, today's culture and society have become rather indifferent to the delicate and serious nature of this passage.
Pope Francis
Image
We are called to live our baptism every day, as new creatures, clothed in Christ.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus is God but he humbled himself to walk with us. He is our friend, our brother.
Pope Francis
Image
Workers should have Sundays off because Sunday is for the family. Calling for Sundays to be a holiday.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus kept his wounds so that we would experience his mercy. This is our strength and our hope.
Pope Francis
Image
I'm overwhelmed by shame that the people who had the responsibility to take care of the tender ones violated that trust and caused them great pain.
Pope Francis
Image
Things from the heart don't have an explanation.
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!
