Although it is a symbol of life, the female body is unfortunately not rarely attacked and disfigured, even by those who should be its protector and life companion.
Pope Francis
Image
Where the elderly are not honored, there is no future for the young.
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
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
These are roots of all evil, hatred and greed, for money, for the construction and for the sale of weapons. This should make us all think, who is behind it all?
Pope Francis
Image
It is not possible to go backwards. We must go forward. Always forward.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us never forget that authentic power is service, which has its radiant culmination on the Cross.
Pope Francis

A Christian is never bored or sad. Rather, the one who loves Christ is full of joy and radiates joy.
Pope Francis
Image
Needing to talk badly about others indicates low self esteem. That means, 'I feel so low that instead of picking myself up, I have to cut others down.' Letting go of negative things quickly is healthy.
Pope Francis

This Christmas may we be consistent in living the Gospel, welcoming Jesus into the centre of our lives.
Pope Francis
Image
Whenever we take a step towards Jesus, we come to realize that he is already there, waiting for us with open arms.
Pope Francis
Image
I allow myself to honor the man who fought in moments when he had no strength to impose himself, until he managed to impose himself. [Joseph] Ratzinger. Cardinal Ratzinger deserves applause.
Pope Francis
Image
Perhaps I can say that I am a bit astute, that I can adapt to circumstances, but it is also true that I am a bit naive. Yes, but the best summary, the one that comes more from the inside and I feel most true is this: I am a sinner whom the Lord has looked upon.
Pope Francis
Image
May every Church and Christian community be a place of mercy amid so much indifference.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us not allow ourselves to be robbed of missionary enthusiasm!
Pope Francis
Image
I like this idea of the re-foundation of the European Union, maybe it can be done, because Europe - I do not say is unique, but it has a force, a culture, a history that cannot be wasted, and we must do everything so that the European Union has the strength and also the inspiration to make it go forward. That's what I think.
Pope Francis
Image
I sincerely hope I can contribute to the progress there has been in relations between Jews and Catholics since the Second Vatican Council in a spirit of renewed collaboration.
Pope Francis
Image
The one who listens attentively to the Word of God and truly prays, always asks the Lord: what is your will for me?
Pope Francis
Image
The mercy of Jesus is not just sentiment: indeed it is a force that gives life, that raises man up!
Pope Francis
Image
Why are deadly weapons being sold to those who plan to inflict untold suffering on individuals and society? Sadly, the answer, as we all know, is simply for money: money that is drenched in blood, often innocent blood. In the face of this shameful and culpable silence, it is our duty to confront the problem and to stop the arms trade.
