Image
If we are to know the Lord, we must go to Him. Listen to Him in silence before the Tabernacle and approach Him in the Sacraments.
Pope Francis
Image
We are a church of sinners but we must not be afraid of holiness. Do not be afraid to aim for holiness and turn yourselves over to the love of God. Holiness does not mean performing extraordinary things but carrying out daily things in an extraordinary way that is with love, joy and faith.
Pope Francis
Image
I think we too are the people who, on the one hand, want to listen to Jesus, but on the other hand, at times, like to find a stick to beat others with, to condemn others. And Jesus has this message for us: mercy. I think - and I say it with humility - that this is the Lord's most powerful message: mercy.
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.

Every threat to the family is a threat to society itself.
Pope Francis

This is precisely the reason for the dissatisfaction of some, who end up sad - sad priests - in some sense becoming collectors of antiques or novelties, instead of being shepherds living with 'the odor of the sheep.' This I ask you: Be shepherds, with the 'odor of the sheep,' make it real, as shepherds among your flock, fishers of men.

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
Image
If, in your relationship with the Lord, you do not feel that He loves you tenderly, you are missing something, you still have not understood what grace is, you have not yet received grace which is this closeness.
Pope Francis
Image
Too often we participate in the globalization of indifference. May we strive instead to live global solidarity.
Pope Francis
Image
Reforming the social structures which perpetuate poverty and the exclusion of the poor first requires a conversion of mind and heart.
Pope Francis
Image
Ask yourselves this question: How often is Jesus inside and knocking at the door to be let out, to come out?
Pope Francis
Image
To be an ambassador for Christ means to invite everyone to a personal encounter with Jesus
Pope Francis
Image
All revealed truths derive from the same divine source and are to be believed with the same faith, yet some of them are more important for giving direct expression to the heart of the Gospel. In this basic core, what shines forth is the beauty of the saving love of God made manifest in Jesus Christ who died and rose from the dead.
Pope Francis
Image
The secret of Christian living is love. Only love fills the empty spaces caused by evil.
Pope Francis
Image
The most important thing is the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved you.
Pope Francis
Image
Dear young people, pray with me for peace in the world.
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
Let us thank all those who teach in Catholic schools. Educating is an act of love it is like giving life.
Pope Francis
Image
Some people believe that - pardon my language - in order to be good Catholics, we should be like rabbits. No.
