Quote

Through prayer, charity and humility before God, people receive a heart which is firm and merciful, attentive and generous, a heart which is not closed, indifferent or prey to the globalization of indifference.

The life of Jesus is a life for others. It is a life of service.
Pope Francis
Image
We are called to reach out to those who find themselves in the existential peripheries of our societies and to show particular solidarity with the most vulnerable of our brothers and sisters: the poor, the disabled, the unborn and the sick, migrants and refugees, the elderly and the young who lack employment.
Pope Francis
Image
If we take the poor away from the Gospel, we won't be able to understand the whole message of Jesus Christ.
Pope Francis
Image
Every time we judge our brother in our hearts or worse when we speak badly of them with others, we are murdering Christians.
Pope Francis
Image
By saying blessed are those who mourn, Jesus does not intend to declare an unfortunate and burdensome condition in life to be happy. Suffering is not a value in itself, but a reality that Jesus teaches us to live with the correct attitude.
Pope Francis
Image
From my point of view, God is the light that illuminates the darkness, even if it does not dissolve it, and a spark of divine light is within each of us.
Pope Francis
Image
We need to avoid the spiritual sickness of a church that is wrapped up in its own world: when a church becomes like this, it grows sick.
Pope Francis
Image
The confessional is not a torture chamber, but the place in which the Lord's mercy motivates us to do better.
Pope Francis
Image
Workers should have Sundays off because Sunday is for the family. Calling for Sundays to be a holiday.
Pope Francis
Image
These two criteria are like the pillars of true love: deeds, and the gift of self.
Pope Francis
Image
There are the saints of every day, the 'hidden' saints, a sort of 'middle class of holiness'... to which we can all belong.
Pope Francis
Image
This generation, and many others, have been led to believe that the devil is a myth, a figure, an idea, the idea of evil... But the devil exists and we must fight against him.
Pope Francis
Image
The times talk to us of so much poverty in the world and this is a scandal. Poverty in the world is a scandal. In a world where there is so much wealth, so many resources to feed everyone, it is unfathomable that there are so many hungry children, that there are so many children without an education, so many poor persons. Poverty today is a cry.
Pope Francis
Image
I believe in the old warrior's credo that to the victor go the spoils.
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
Proclaim the beauty and truth of the Christian message to a society which is tangent by confusing presentations of sexuality, marriage and the family.
Pope Francis
Image
A poverty learned with the humble, the poor, the sick and all those who are on the existential outskirts of life. A theoretical poverty is no use to us. Poverty is learned by touching the flesh of the poor Christ, in the humble, in the poor, in the sick and in children.
Pope Francis
Image
Breathing is made up of two stages: inhaling, the intake of air, and exhaling, the letting out of air. The spiritual life is fed, nourished, by prayer and is expressed outwardly through mission: inhaling and exhaling. When we inhale, by prayer, we receive the fresh air of the Holy Spirit.
Pope Francis
Image
When Christians forget about hope and tenderness they become a cold Church, that loses its sense of direction and is held back by ideologies and worldly attitudes, whereas God’s simplicity tells you: go forward, I am a Father who caresses you.
Pope Francis
Image
The Eucharist, although it is the fullness of sacramental life, is not a prize for the perfect but a powerful medicine and nourishment for the weak.
Pope Francis
