Pope Francis
Image
Fasting makes sense if it really chips away at our security and, as a consequence, benefits someone else, if it helps us cultivate the style of the good Samaritan, who bent down to his brother in need and took care of him.
Pope Francis

Lent is a favorable time for letting Christ serve us so that we in turn may become more like Him.
Pope Francis
Image
I distrust a charity that costs nothing and does not hurt.

May Christ the Savior give peace to Nigeria, where more blood is being shed and too many people are unjustly deprived of their possessions, held as hostages or killed.
Pope Francis
Image
I wish everyone a wonderful World Cup, played in a spirit of true fraternity.
Pope Francis

May the God of peace arouse in all an authentic desire for dialogue and reconciliation. Violence cannot be overcome with violence. Violence is overcome with peace.
