If globalization seeks to bring all of us together, but to do so respecting each person, each individual person's peculiarity, that globalization is good and makes us good and grow and leads to peace.
Pope Francis
Image
There are the saints of every day, the 'hidden' saints, a sort of 'middle class of holiness'... to which we can all belong.

Pope Francis

Pope Francis
Image
I ask you to ensure that humanity is served by wealth, and not ruled by it.
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 confessional is not a torture chamber, but the place in which the Lord's mercy motivates us to do better.
Pope Francis
Image
The proclamation of Jesus is not a veneer: the proclamation of Jesus goes straight to the bones, heart, goes deep within and change us. And the spirit of the world does not tolerate it, will not tolerate it, and therefore, there is persecution.
Pope Francis
Image
Each encounter with Jesus changes our life.
Pope Francis
Image
States kill when they apply the death penalty, when they send their people to war, or when they carry out extra-judicial or summary executions. They can also kill by omission, when they fail to guarantee to their people access to the bare essentials for life.
Pope Francis
Image
We ask for peace and freedom for the many men and women subject to old and new forms of enslavement on the part of criminal individuals and groups.

You can't govern without loving the people and without humility!
