Quote

As always, the ones who aren't saints make the most noise...a single tree falling makes a sound, but a whole forest growing doesn't.

More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
Christians must respond to evil with good, taking the cross upon themselves as Jesus did
Pope Francis
Image
Let us say Yes to life and not death. Let us say Yes to freedom and not enslavement to the many idols of our time. In a word, let us say Yes to the God who is love, life and freedom, and who never disappoints.
Pope Francis
Image
If we want security, let us give security if we want life, let us give life if we want opportunities, let us provide opportunities. The yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us never yield to pessimism, to that bitterness that the devil offers us every day.
Pope Francis
Image
This is God's way, the way of humility. It is the way of Jesus there is no other. And there can be no humility without humiliation.
Pope Francis
Image
The border between good and evil passes not outside of us but within us
Pope Francis
Image
Joy adapts and changes, but it always endures, even as a flicker of light born of our personal certainty that, when everything is said and done, we are infinitely loved.
Pope Francis
Image
I love tango, and I used to dance when I was young.
Pope Francis
Image
Life is a precious gift, but we realize this only when we give it to others.
Pope Francis
Image
Trust in the power of Christ’s Cross! Receive his reconciling grace and share it!
Pope Francis
Image
Terrorism grows when there are no other options, and when the center of the global economy is the god of money and not the person - men and women - this is already the first terrorism!
Pope Francis
Image
The human person is in danger: this is certain, the human person is in danger today, here is the urgency of human ecology! And it is a serious danger because the cause of the problem is not superficial but profound: it is not just a matter of economics, but of ethics and anthropology.
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
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
Love is more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope blossom in the wilderness.
Pope Francis
Image
From the way children are treated society can be judged.
Pope Francis
Image
It means protecting people, showing loving concern for each and every person, especially children, the elderly, those in need, who are often the last we think about.
Pope Francis
Image
Our faith in Christ, who became poor, and was always close to the poor and the outcast, is the basis of our concern for the integral development of society’s most neglected members.
Pope Francis
Image
Environmental degradation is one of the biggest challenges we have. I think a question that we're not asking ourselves is: 'Isn't humanity committing suicide with this indiscriminate and tyrannical use of nature?'
Pope Francis
Image
Instead of seeming to impose new obligations, they should appear as people who wish to share their joy, who point to a horizon of beauty and who invite others to a delicious banquet. It is not by proselytizing that the Church grows, but by attraction.
