Holiness doesn't mean doing extraordinary things, but doing ordinary things with love and faith.
Pope Francis
Image
In a very real way, the poor are our teachers. They show us that people’s value is not measured by their possessions or how much money they have in the bank. A poor person, a person lacking material possessions, always maintains his or her dignity. The poor can teach us much about humility and trust in God.
Pope Francis
Image
We need to see each child as a gift to be welcomed, cherished, and protected.
Pope Francis
Image
In the Gospel we have just heard, Jesus, the Master, teaches the crowds and the small group of his disciples by accommodating himself to their ability to understand. ... Jesus does not seek to 'play the professor.' Instead, he seeks to reach people's hearts, their understanding and their lives, so that they may bear fruit.
Pope Francis
Image
Every Christian is a missionary to the extent that he or she bears witness to God’s love. Be missionaries of God’s tenderness!

How good it is for us when the Lord unsettles our lukewarm and superficial lives.
Pope Francis
Image
We can walk when we want to, we can build many things, but if we do not witness to Jesus Christ then it doesn't matter. We might become a philanthropic NGO but we wouldn't be the Church, the Bride of the Lord.
Pope Francis
Image
If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?
Pope Francis
Image
Indifference is dangerous, whether innocent or not.
Pope Francis
Image
We are called to be 'ambassadors for Christ' (2 Cor 5:20). Ours is a ministry of reconciliation ... To be an ambassador for Christ means above all to invite everyone to a renewed personal encounter with the Lord Jesus.
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
While all too many people live in dire poverty, others are caught up in materialism and lifestyles which are destructive of family life and the most basic demands of Christian morality.
Pope Francis
Image
For her part, the Church always works for the integral development of every person. In this sense, she reiterates that the common good should not be simply an extra, simply a conceptual scheme of inferior quality tacked onto political programmes. The Church encourages those in power to be truly at the service of the common good of their peoples.

Whenever people listen to one another humbly and openly, their shared values and aspirations become all the more apparent. Diversity is no longer seen as a threat, but as a source of enrichment.
