How many kinds of moral and material poverty we face today as a result of denying God and putting so many idols in his place!
Pope Francis
Image
Right now, we don't have a very good relation with creation.
Pope Francis
Image
I would like that all of us, after these days of grace, might have the courage - the courage - to walk in the presence of the Lord, with the Cross of the Lord: to build the Church on the Blood of the Lord, which is shed on the Cross, and to profess the one glory, Christ Crucified. In this way, the Church will go forward.
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

I'm overwhelmed by shame that the people who had the responsibility to take care of the tender ones violated that trust and caused them great pain.
Pope Francis
Image
Perhaps I can say that I am a bit astute, that I can adapt to circumstances, but it is also true that I am a bit naive. Yes, but the best summary, the one that comes more from the inside and I feel most true is this: I am a sinner whom the Lord has looked upon.
Pope Francis
Image
To be saints is not a privilege for a few, but a vocation for everyone.
Pope Francis
Image
A Christian is one who is invited... to join in the feast, to the joy of being saved, to the joy of being redeemed, to the joy of sharing life with Christ. This is a joy! You are called to a party!
Pope Francis
Image
Take care of God’s creation. But above all, take care of people in need.
Pope Francis
Image
Certain realities of life we only see through eyes cleansed by our tears.
Pope Francis
Image
There are people who are afraid to go to confession, forgetting that they will not encounter a severe judge there, but the immensely merciful Father.
Pope Francis
Image
The border between good and evil passes not outside of us but within us
Pope Francis

How precious is the family as the privileged place for transmitting the faith.
Pope Francis

If there is no humility, love remains blocked.
Pope Francis

If we learn to say we're sorry and ask forgiveness, the marriage will last.
