Quote

This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly... a tragedy... what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!

More quotes by Pope Francis

Image
The great danger in today's world, pervaded as it is by consumerism, is the desolation and anguish born of a complacent yet covetous heart, the feverish pursuit of frivolous pleasures, and a blunted conscience. Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor.
Pope Francis
Image
It makes me sad when I find sisters who aren't joyful. They might smile, but with just a smile they could be flight attendants!
Pope Francis
Image
The proclamation of the saving love of God comes before moral and religious imperatives. Today sometimes it seems that the opposite order is prevailing.
Pope Francis
Image
If we wish to follow Christ closely, we cannot choose an easy, quiet life. It will be a demanding life, but full of joy.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us never forget that authentic power is service, which has its radiant culmination on the Cross.
Pope Francis
Image
It is true that going out on to the street implies the risk of accidents happening, as they would to any ordinary man or woman. But if the church stays wrapped up in itself, it will age. And if I had to choose between a wounded church that goes out on to the streets and a sick, withdrawn church, I would definitely choose the first one.
Pope Francis
Image
Each encounter with Jesus fills us with joy, with that deep joy which only God can give.
Pope Francis
Image
I don’t know if it is all (man’s fault) but the majority is, for the most part, it is man who continuously slaps down nature.
Pope Francis
Image
May the power of Christ, which brings freedom and service, be felt in so many hearts afflicted by war, persecution and slavery.
Pope Francis
Image
Brothers and sisters, good evening. You all know that the duty of the conclave was to give a bishop to Rome. It seems that my brother cardinals have gone almost to the ends of the earth to get him... but here we are.
Pope Francis
Image
How powerful prayer is! May we never lose the courage to say: Lord, give us your peace.
Pope Francis
Image
Europe has discarded its children. A bit triumphantly. I remember that when I was studying in one country the clinics that did abortions then prepared everything to send it to cosmetic factories. Makeup made with the blood of innocents. And this was something to brag about, because it was progressive.
Pope Francis
Image
We are not alone. We have many brothers who in this moment of catastrophe came to help. And we too, because of this, we feel more like brothers and sisters because we helped each other.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us contemplate the humility of the Son of God born into poverty. Let us imitate him by sharing with those who are weak.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Let's say 'Yes' to life and 'No' to death.
Pope Francis
Image
It means caring for one another in our families: husbands and wives first protect one another, and then, as parents, they care for their children, and children themselves, in time, protect their parents.
Pope Francis
Image
Evolution in nature is not opposed to the notion of Creation, because evolution presupposes the creation of beings that evolve.
Pope Francis
Image
I wish everyone a wonderful World Cup, played in a spirit of true fraternity.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray for all good and faithful priests who dedicate themselves to their people with generosity and unknown sacrifices.
Pope Francis
