Image
It's true, harm to Catholics must always be avoided, and all of us do this...but not at the price of the truth!
Pope Francis
Image
Grace is not part of consciousness it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.
Pope Francis
Image
In some countries, if you carry the Gospel, you can go to jail. You can't carry a cross, because you'll have to pay a fine. But still, the heart rejoices.
Pope Francis
Image
From the Cross, Christ teaches us to love even those who do not love us.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us say Yes to life and not death. Let us say Yes to freedom and not enslavement to the many idols of our time. In a word, let us say Yes to the God who is love, life and freedom, and who never disappoints.
Pope Francis
Image
The cross is the price of true love. Lord, give us the strength to accept and carry our crosses!
Pope Francis
Image
Idolatry, then, is always polytheism, an aimless passing from one lord to another. Idolatry does not offer a journey but rather a plethora of paths leading nowhere and forming a vast labyrinth.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us protect with love all that God has given us!
Pope Francis
Image
Pay attention, my young friends: to go against the current this is good for the heart, but we need courage to swim against the tide. ... We Christians were not chosen by the Lord for little things push onwards toward the highest principles. Stake your lives on noble ideals, my dear young people!
Pope Francis
Image
We, the women and men of the Church, we are in the middle of a love story: each of us is a link in this chain of love. And if we do not understand this, we have understood nothing of what the Church is.
Pope Francis
Image
The Church is called to draw near to every person, beginning with the poorest and those who suffer.
Pope Francis
Image
In a word: charity cannot be neutral, antiseptic, indifferent, lukewarm or impartial! Charity is infectious, it excites, it risks and it engages! For true charity is always unmerited, unconditional and gratuitous!
Pope Francis
Image
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
Image
We cannot be part-time Christians! We should seek to live our faith at every moment of every day.
Pope Francis
Image
Solidarity...is a structural value of the social doctrine, as Blessed John Paul II reminded us.
Pope Francis
Image
No one must use the name of God to commit violence. To kill in the name of God is a grave sacrilege. To discriminate in the name of God is inhuman.
Pope Francis
Image
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.
Pope Francis
Image
Despite our sins, we can say with Peter: Lord, you know everything, you know that I love you.
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.
