Image
Not to share one’s goods with the poor is to rob them and to deprive them of life. It is not our goods that we possess, but theirs.
Pope Francis
Image
The Cross isn't an ornament, mere symbol. It's the mystery of God's love, that He died for our sins.
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
We have to find a new balance otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel.
Pope Francis
Image
I think that even the Mexican society is a victim of all of this, of these crimes of cleaning people, of discarding people.
Pope Francis
Image
Amid so many problems, even grave, may we not lose our hope in the infinite mercy of God.
Pope Francis
Image
May no one use religion as a pretext for actions against human dignity and against the fundamental rights of every man and woman.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.
Pope Francis
Image
We have to state, without mincing words, that there is an inseparable bond between our faith and the poor. May we never abandon them.
Pope Francis
Image
Our life must be centred on what is essential, on Jesus Christ. Everything else is secondary.
Pope Francis
Image
True peace is not a balance of opposing forces, and it is not ‘a lovely façade’ simply covering conflicts and divisions. Rather, peace calls for daily commitment -- it's homemade -- starting from God's gift, from the grace which he has given us in Jesus Christ.
Pope Francis
Image
If we are truly in love with Christ and if we sense how much he loves us, our heart will 'light up' with a joy that spreads to everyone around us.
Pope Francis
Image
You have a specific and important mission, that of keeping alive the relationship between the faith and the cultures of the peoples to whom you belong. . . . [W]e have to follow Christ along the concrete path of our daily lives so that he can transform us.
Pope Francis
Image
Jesus is God but he humbled himself to walk with us. He is our friend, our brother.
Pope Francis
Image
God does not reveal himself in strength or power, but in the weakness and fragility of a newborn babe.
Pope Francis
Image
There is so much indifference in the face of suffering. May we overcome indifference with concrete acts of charity.
Pope Francis
Image
The Roman Curia has its defects, but it seems to me that people often overemphasize its defects and talk too little about the health of the many religious and laypeople who work there.
Pope Francis
Image
Vanity, showing off, is an attitude that reduces spirituality to a worldly thing, which is the worst sin that could be committed in the church.
Pope Francis
Image
I see the church as a field hospital after battle. It is useless to ask a seriously injured person if he has high cholesterol and about the level of his blood sugars. You have to heal his wounds. Then we can talk about everything else.
Pope Francis
Image
The most important thing is the first proclamation: Jesus Christ has saved you.
