More quotes by Pope Francis
The question of truth is really a question of memory, deep memory, for it deals with something prior to ourselves and can succeed in uniting us in a way that transcends our petty and limited individual consciousness. It is a question about the origin of all that is, in whose light we can glimpse the goal and thus the meaning of our common path.
Pope Francis
Worshipping the Lord means giving him the place that he must have worshipping the Lord means stating, believing-not only by our words- that he alone truly guides our lives worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before him that he is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history.
Pope Francis
God asks everything of us, yet at the same time he offers everything to us.
Pope Francis
The Church is or should go back to being a community of God's people, and priests, pastors and bishops, who have the care of souls, are at the service of the people of God.
Pope Francis
God never gives someone a gift they are not capable of receiving. If he gives us the gift of Christmas, it is because we all have the ability to understand and receive it.
Pope Francis
When Jesus stepped into the waters of the Jordan and was baptized by John the Baptist, he did so not because he was in need of repentance, or conversion: he did it to be among people who need forgiveness, among us sinners, and to take upon himself the burden of our sins.
Pope Francis
The parish is the presence of the Church in any given territory, an environment for hearing God's word, for growth in Christian life, for dialogue, proclamation, charitable outreach, worship and celebration.
Pope Francis
You can't have Christ without the Church.
Pope Francis
I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person's life. God is in everyone's life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else - God is in this person's life. You can - you must - try to seek God in every human life.
Pope Francis
I know married Catholics in a second union who go to church, who go to church once or twice a year and say I want communion, as if joining in Communion were an award. It's a work towards integration, all doors are open, but we cannot say, 'from here on they can have communion.'
Pope Francis
It’s like in soccer: you have to deal with the penalties where they fall you can’t choose where they’re going to land. Life is like that, and you have to deal with it even if you don’t like it.
Pope Francis
A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.
Pope Francis
No one can grow if he does not accept his smallness.
Pope Francis
During Lent, let us find concrete ways to overcome our indifference.
Pope Francis
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
Holiness doesn't mean doing extraordinary things, but doing ordinary things with love and faith.
Pope Francis
Help one another: this is what Jesus teaches us and this what I am doing, and doing with all my heart.
Pope Francis
The crucifix does not signify defeat or failure. It reveals to us the Love that overcomes evil and sin.
Pope Francis
How often we forget to dedicate ourselves to that which truly matters! We forget that we are children of God.
Pope Francis
This Christmas may we be consistent in living the Gospel, welcoming Jesus into the centre of our lives.
Pope Francis
