Image
Do I guard myself, my heart, my feelings, my thoughts? Do I guard the treasure of grace? Do I guard the presence of the Holy Spirit in me? Or do I let go, feeling secure, believing that all is going well?
Pope Francis
Image
While new rights are attributed to or indeed almost presumed by the individual, life is not always protected as the primary value and the primordial right of every human being. The ultimate aim of medicine remains the defence and promotion of life.
Pope Francis
Image
The fight against poverty and hunger must be fought constantly and on many fronts, especially in its causes.
Pope Francis
Image
The Lord speaks to us through the Scriptures and in our prayer. Let us learn to keep silence before him, as we meditate upon the Gospel.
Pope Francis
Image
Things from the heart don't have an explanation.
Pope Francis
Image
Instead of being just a church that welcomes and receives by keeping the doors open, let us try also to be a church that finds new roads, that is able to step outside itself and go to those who do not attend Mass, to those who have quit or are indifferent.
Pope Francis
Image
We must overcome...all forms of racism. The problem of intolerance should be dealt with as a whole: every time a minority is persecuted and marginalized...the good of the whole society is in danger.
Pope Francis
Image
Praise is the 'breath' which gives us life, because it is intimacy with God, an intimacy that grows through daily praise.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray that the Church be holier and more humble, loving God by serving the poor, the lonely and the sick.
Pope Francis
Image
Without a solution to the problems of the poor, we will not solve the problems of the world. We need projects, mechanisms and processes to implement better distribution of resources, from the creation of new jobs to the integral promotion of those who are excluded'.
Pope Francis
Image
[Abortion] is an evil in and of itself, but it is not a religious evil in the beginning, no, it's a human evil. Then obviously, as with every human evil, each killing is condemned.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us contemplate the humility of the Son of God born into poverty. Let us imitate him by sharing with those who are weak.
Pope Francis
Image
Let us pray for the many Christians in the world who still suffer persecution and violence. May God grant them the courage of fidelity.
Pope Francis
Image
We forget to remain focused on the things that really matter.
Pope Francis
Image
More than by fear of going astray, my hope is that we will be moved by the fear of remaining shut up within structures which give us a false sense of security, within rules which make us harsh judges, within habits which make us feel safe, while at our door people are starving and Jesus does not tire of saying to us: 'Give them something to eat.'
Pope Francis
Image
Through prayer, charity and humility before God, people receive a heart which is firm and merciful, attentive and generous, a heart which is not closed, indifferent or prey to the globalization of indifference.
Pope Francis
Image
The joy of the Gospel is for all people: no one can be excluded.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus spoke in such a way that the people loved the things of God. That’s why they followed him.
Pope Francis
Image
Do not forget this: the Lord never wearies of forgiving! We are the ones who weary of asking for forgiveness.
Pope Francis

Where there is no work, there is no dignity.
